They shud preach the rugby gospel there more... Its in our natural DNA that contact sport is for us.. The football field is the only place that we can b wat we really r... Warriors
We need more doctors and lawyers from the new generation rather than football players. I am a 2nd generation here in the U.S. from Tonga, and my folks came to this land of opportunity with dreams of a higher education and representing islaanders in a positive way. I LOVE football but it can only take you so far in life. Utilize sports as a platform to success and don't sell yourself short. Our kids MUST learn how to maximize their brain power, rather than their physical body. One Love.

It's like we Polynesian kids are bred to play football and only football.. Look at Peyton Siva! Next year we will be seeing him in the NBA.. Starting point guard for Louisville.. If he can get to where he is, why can't we? It's not like it's a bad thing we should be playing basketball.. I do. I play both sports and love them. My parents center my life with football tho.
Better then having to join up the British army like the Fijian young men have to, to support their families. Fijians now make up the majority of common wealth soldiers in the British army. Playing American football is a better option then the army.
i don't know why the hell they would choose high schools in Utah!!??? Bingam got their shit served against O Lu. FYI, Orange Lutheran is in Orange County, California and they're not even that good.
Many of our viewers have requested the song featured in the trailer. We will post the entire song, once we have 1,000 facebook fans and 50,000 views on youtube! Help us get there!
ATTENTION ALL: this dude named "savagebloodline" worships the devil. tell me if youve ever seen him make one positive, good, or uplifting comment about Tongans...he spends all his time preaching hate...he pretends to be a Christian but he says nothing but evil things...what a disgrace to his family and culture...his family must have raised him to hate Tongans...another person suffering from fear and an extreme inferiority complex...Much love to my True Usos, Tokoz and Christians out there!!!
They say Polys are 56 times more likely to make it to NFL than any other race? No. Samoans and Tongans are 56 times more likely to make it to the NFL than any other race. haha not to diss on the Fijians, Hawaiians, and Tahitians.
@peninaolemoana tongans used to run samoa? so why don't tongans run samoa nowadays? im sick of hearing this $#^!! the answer to both these questions was that we (HAMOAN'S) gave the your tongan king and all your so called warriors a beating of a lifetime." Malie toa,Malo tau,A ou toe sau,oute le toe sau e tau, ae ou sau i le aoauli folau" those were the words of your Defeated King. And for the record tongans never even ruled Manu'a because they know what is in store for them.just ask ur king.

Let's face it people we polynesians run contact sports such as Football&Rugby. We are a warrior race and a prous one too. To all da sole's and tongan's poly pride homiez from a Kanak.
just gonna come out and say it thr only people hating on this video and samoans ........are jealous.....plain and simple, so dont hate on our nation because we're good wait no great at football......love samoa
@stoopidkidd1......no ones saying they run NFL, this movie just shows how small our country is and how alot of islander boys have potential to play NFL...........proud to be samoan,we own
@stoopidkidd1......no ones saying they run NFL, this movie just shows how small our country is and how alot of islander boys have potential to play NFL...........proud to be samoan,we own
this is interesting how Polys in the US dominate football and also perceive it as a lifeline. In NZ, its a very different mindset; Polys dominate rugby but it is more a hobby then anything.
Polynesian Power narrated by The Rock (those 2 guys Sopoaga and Tinoisamoa are SAMOAN and so was the narrator) was on ESPN...American Samoa: Football Island was provided by and sponsored by 60minutes...56% of the kids born to SAMOAN parents are likely to make the NFL than any other race...no other study has been done like that for ANY other race so to put that 56% on this documentary would be FALSE and INACCURATE! If it was about SAMOANS than ok but wit other PolyRaces the % should go up???
Man I can't wait to see this film. I'm a Tongan from New Zealand, and all my boys are Samoan, Fijian, Niuean, and Maori. We live and breathe Rugby and Rugby League, but this is a different story, we are just excited to see poly boys excelling in NFL and makes us proud of what polynesians can achieve. If its sports or business etc. We are all from the same ocean and that's the PACIFIC OCEAN!
Keep it up my Toko's and USO's in the States. We are all proud of you guys!
ey foreal tho. i play ball out here in oregon and everything they said was on point. we out here doin it big for our families and trynna carry our families on our backs. us polynesian ppl dont usually come from money and the things that we go through to get where we need to get are sometimes overwhelming. cant wait till this documentary comes out. imma spread the word about this right here cuz ppl need to hear our story
@SiNnDeEzY89 Hopefully sometime next Spring. Best thing you can do is share with friends/family, repost and spread the word. The more followers we have on facebook and more hits we have on our trailer here, the better chance we have at making the film accessible to a greater population. Thanks for your support :)
im Samoan and proud of my Tongan family. i was borned and raise in Samoa. grew up with alot of Tongans. back home, we were taught to be humble. we are family.
I don't give a damn if you samoan or tongan..we both from the same ocean..we both love football, and our parents came here with the same goal..Play football, go to college and represent your culture with class....I'm proud to see any poly brother in the NFL...tongan or samoan,kiwi, fijian and micronesian, polynesian, white-a-nesian, black-a-nesian whatever! Do what it do and represent...My name is Bush-it! And I approve of this message.."PAID FOR BY ALL WHO DON'T PAY TAXES!"
ITS TRUE SAMOANS HAVE BEEN PLAYING FOOTBALL LONGER THAN TONGANS BUT THATS NOT AN EXCUSE FOR ANYTHING. HOLDING ON TO THAT FACT IS LIKE HOLDING ON TO MY NUTS AFTER I BUST. THAT SOUNDED REALLY AWESOME. ITS POINTLESS BECAUSE NOBODY WITH A WELL FUNCTIONING BRAIN GIVES A FLYING FUCK WHO STARTED WHAT FIRST. POINTLESS ASS SHIT. GET MONEY. WATCH MY VIDEOS. HATE ME. FUCK YOU. BYE. OH YEAH THIS FILM IS GOING TO BE GREAT BECAUSE JOE KATOA IS IN IT. AND ITS BIASED TO UTAH TONGANS SO FUCK THE HATERS.
@sioneFM ignorant cunt thought like a true Tongan fag. Holding yor nuts after yous bust? Lol dipshits like you embarrass Tonga the King (your gay King not Elvis) and Polynesians in general... aww what you gonna do now physically threaten me? Haah how about you keep bustin your nuts wanker lol
@canwriter32 Best thing you can do is share with friends/family, repost and spread the word. The more followers we have on facebook and more hits we have on our trailer here, the better chance we have at making the film accessible to a greater population. Thanks for your support :)
@erikakirec well then looks like ill have to show the world, cause this will be a great movie for future polynesian families to see, i cant wait for this to finally become a movie :]
its funny how us polynesians consist of like 1 percent or less than that in the United states and yet we are trying to bring ourselves down, dont decrease that number, we aint miko or uli uli so leave the killing to them and lets rise above as one. we are truly blessed to be a part of a culture that has hella pride and character. JAH LIVE
spotlight hits polynesians and you all want to separate yourselves as tongans and samoans. in the white man's eye, all they see are islanders. let success build enough where the nation can see samoan and tongans shine individually and know the difference on their own.
@polisister sorry friend this about us acknowledging who we are. Screw the white man and how he/she see us it's about us recognizing who we are. If you want to be part of a larger group that's fine but if anyone asks I'm Samoan. What about you? Haven't meat any Tongans who don't want to be recognised as uniquely Tongan or for that matter anyone of a particular ethnic group.
why can't Tongans and Samoans see that they are on the same boat and just support each other by rowing together rather than shoot holes on the floor of the boat! helloooo! For those Tongans and Samoans who insist on shooting each other, best put them all on the same boat; it is obvious how far that boat will go.
if a samoan's goal is to outdo a tongan, and a tongans goal to outdo a samoan, than they wouldn't go that far at all. lets face the facts, the palagi's and especially the meauli's are the one's dominating the game right now. so if yall are still trying to argue which race is better, consider yourself an idiot. lets be realistic, it's a white man's world, " AND YOU'RE LIVING IN IT " . so enough with all the hating and stop shooting each other in the streets.
tongan or samoan good to see the polys takin ova football slowly.... just like here in new zealand polys already takin ova rugby with the same reasonz...
yea boi!..im not gonna lie, i wish there could've been some Samoans interviewed as well, especially since the stats did come from Samoan Football players only, even though i know our Tongan brothers are just as talented..but its all good..much respect to all/any Polys putting Polys on the map..and lastly, I agree they need to come down here to Texas where no other state can compare regarding Football..Chahoo!..when is this docu. coming out?
@Flankr7 knickers??? what in da heezy..dasss lame anyways aint no debating here bruh in order for it to be a debate theres got to be some type of competition which I see none in ur comments. aNyways my brotha wit the knickers in a twist u have fun and have an even better day...toodles..lol
JUS CUHZ YOU NIGGAS CANT GET RECOGNIZED..DONT HATE BECAUSE WE HAVE BETTER PLAYERS THAT CAN MAKE MOVIES OUT OF THEIR LIVES..SO DIS NIGGAH BELOW ME, HAVE FUN IN CALI PLAYIN BALL..BUT WHEN YOU COME TO UTAH, BEST WATCH OUT NIGGAH!! HAHA
@WestSideOfBangerterz Watch out for what? Watch out for your guys' wack ass gangs out there? Hahahhaa please nigga utah is trash..bingham is straight garbage thats why they got tossed the fck around by Trinity 2 years ago! We are recognized nigga..De La Salle is a national powerhouse and always will be. Long Beach Poly produced the most NFL players than any other high school in America. And Grant had the #1 Defense in the nation 2 years in a row. Fck you talkin bout nigga..Cali ball on top!!!!!!
This is hella gay..all these Tongans that appeared on this video are ALL from utah besides Vai Sikahema. What about Texas and California? utah aint known for football, what the hell. And all their Tongan football players are straight up hoot! We got Tongans out here in Cali got waaaay more talent. Here in the Bay, Sacramento and LA (De La Salle, Grant & Long Beach Poly)! Texas too! About 80% of the nations best team (Euless Trinity Trojans) is all Tongans. bootah is fkn weak! All them niggas!!!!
Gotta agree with you on California prep football. This video looks like its based on UTAH football. Trinity and Grant got spanked in there championship games. De La Salle is and always the class of PREP football nation wide. RB Joe Te’o will be a senior next year along with Houston at QB. De La Salle will most likely be the nations #1 ranked team starting next season....nothing new in the Bay Area.
@kokonut99 kinda hard too when u suckin on mines .. Careful less teeth next time bruh or im ko-ko nut 99 times in ur mouth and not in ur hands lmfao holla!
My bad flankr7 I think he dived in ur ass before he got da gold medals he got lol. Ur pitiful wit tryin to narrow down what alamoti stated and no ur wrong he was talkin about the race in general so be easy and keep it real Aside from Greg also can't forget about Eric fonoimoana in Australia also capturing gold in volleyball..
polys bout to take over the NFL. just leave it at that. and i hope this movie went all over the nation, and not just Utah to get interviews. dats all i saw from the trailer.
Man what are yall sayin??? We all should just be happy for these young guys. Cuz they aint just reppin for they're families and their culture.. they reppin for ALL US POLY'S! So just be thankful for this movie.. Cuz they didn't have to make it...
Euless Trinity In Texas has over 50 Tongans on da football squad n is ranked number one in da nation for high skool football..dat says a lot for Tongans playing football..if tonga wus like american samoa den believe there wuld b jus as many tongans in da league.
@naskiu hey easy on the samoans braddah... we tongans just have thicker skulls and are twice as stubborn as samoans... besides we are all polys and have common ancestors
@naskiu Who cares samoan or tongan were both dots on the map. And I'm proud to see a tongan or samoan or any islander make it in the nfl,because we come from such a small place and we produce the best talent in the nfl.
football wasnt popular in nz cuz of rugby but love playing it
play in nz and a american scout saw me play than he want me in football 4 Michigan state as free safety
went to the states, i was a huge underdog in football, in college people fort i suck but overcome the odds, best game beating the fightn irish, playing days are over, got an education, now helping out others in nz fanks to football..
@roccdogg funny cuz there are more hamoz on tha squad here but only one actually plays..tha rest......wel they jus rest on the bench..bahaha en three TONGAN niggahs includin ya boi alamoti holdin it down cuz cuz..
oh en i never sed there wernt fkaleitis..we got some, en every race got some, but like i sed yall got tha most percentage wise..hahaaa
@alamoti41 hahaha...stop dreamin' dog. You don't get any playing time. You gonna be a failure like yo' daddy. And how you know the percentage? You must've done some good "research" lol
@pago684 no skidmarks round hea buddy, but u can check ya boi GRE's ashtro, das how he caught HIV..lmao..

@alamoti41 lol alamoti41...you a foo...you just proved dat. i bet when you at practice you be kissin' them hamoz azzes and it kills you inside when dey start in front of you. You went from "I ain't talkin' shiet" to talkin' shiet. Give up ballin' and stick to school....you ain't gonna make...tha statistics are not in yo' favor...hahahaha!
@alapoti no one said stats was stolen either which was clarified to Tony Vainuku it was inaccurate, big difference. well ill agree with u on one thing no need to keep talking ish on here cuz either or we aint colllecting none of the checks our samoan and tongan ballers in the league are making lol...so time to watch some footbal!
alapoti41 U wanted to talk Gold medals I gave u a stat mr. cant spell metal..lmao. And Nigga pls, just as many gay tongans as there are samoans so theres no way of tracking that unless we count the stretch marks on that alamoti asshole lol But then again that could take all day. half or not ur ass is owned..I got luv for my tongan brothas but u are the skidmark of the tongan race who's taking it the wrong way with ur pre school drop out azz comments. No hating mah ninja so dont get it confused!
yea yall holdin it down no joke, but sit niggahs always wanna hate wen it comes to TONGANS en sAmoans en sit..kicc cacc niggahs..
my fams is sAmoan so i hate tlkin ish but sit niggas yall cant jus take tha fact dat we right thur wit yall..if ne thang we ran yall island before, en yall get all sour cuz dat..c'mon holmes i knoe im tlkin ish, but jus heated cuz yall niggas always trynna hate en sit..das why i dnt even claim bein poly, eff dat sheezy..if we was poly we post to be on the same..
@roccdogg nah i aint usin it as an excuse cuhz, if u was payin attention to tha convo before, ya pango was trynna hate on tha film cuz tha stats was stolen..
dude was trynna say it like we dont hav tha same possibilities as makin tha NFL, gotta niggah twisted en sit..
but since u confused its all good..tha TONGAN pop is growing in a.sAmoa en we slowly taking over like we did before..WEN TONGA RULED OVER SAMOA AND FIJI..
LMAO..dayum hatin niggahs..we knoe yall got niggahs out thur..
@Questionyoursource: Tony, good wishes with finishing your movie. I look forward to seeing it, to finding out how the pressure to succeed in one exclusive venture affects these four young men. For most kids, sports can be a healthy way of focusing efforts, if that is not the only option for success in life. Thank you for sharing their stories.
@Questionyoursource: Tony, your film looks interesting, and i am eager to watch it when it is finished. You mention the recent 60 Minutes piece, which was good. Personally, I think my brother's film, Polynesian Power (which came out earlier) was better. In that one, Pisa Tinoisamoa talks about his previous struggles before getting his scholarship at U.H. Good wishes, Jon Spear (San Francisco, CA)
@jdspear Thank you, I'm a big fan of Polynesian Power. I thought it was a great documentary that did indeed tell more about the Samoan culture than 60 min. 12 min. piece. I think that they will all compliment each other on telling stories about the cultures all over the world. Again, our purpose isn't to take anything away from the stories that have already been told. We only seek to tell the stories that we have carefully been shooting in this film. We hope you enjoy. Thank you.
@alamoti41 so you are comfortable using population as an excuse. You want me to tell you whats good with the amt of tongans in the NFL. As you know, tongan migration (thanks to the LDS church and a growing number of tongans living in American Samoa) has increased about 140% since 1980. So with that, your "population" is steadily creeping up to the Samoans thus increasing your presence in the NFL. Second, as you said, "most tongans are full breeds in NFL", well of course...
@alamoti41 yaw got more first generation population. But just to let you know, Junior Seau (born in Samoa, 100% Samoan), Troy Polamalu (first generation Samoan, 100% Samoan), Jesse Sapolu (first generation, 100% Samoan), Lofa Tatupu (first generation Samoan), Mike Iupati (born in Samoa, 100%), etc....the list goes on with these "full breeds" and "first generations" so you tell me "wuss gewd". As far as the gold metal is concerned. Yea thats coo and all but if you enter the professional arena
@alamoti41 and your career goes nowhere..you are easily forgotten. Only people that remember your boxer Wolfgramm are tongans. David Tua has made his mark in the boxing world, no one with credibility in boxing even speaks of Wolfgramm. Maybe solomon haumono does..wait he ain't got no credibility lol.I can go on and on but really alamoti41 it ain't even no argument. By the way, since rugby 7's is officially in the olympics now, I guess you can chalk that up in our list of accomplistmnts next
@roccdogg ...come on cuhz, u knoe wuts gewd..we about tha same..but yall hatin cuhz yall got more out thur..uliuli's got more den yall cuhz they got population,
stats..?we dont have half as much population den yall back home in the islands and not even close here in the states..yet we have almost or about half as many players as yall in the NFL..so u tell me niggah wuts gewd..
plus most of the TONGANS in the NFL are full breeds..jus to prove the skills dont come from ne where els..lmao..
@roccdogg NZ/AUSTRALIA..?dont get it twisted cuhz, JONAH LOMU is TONGAN..but i aint sayin yall dnt got more out thur, i aint even trippin on yall..but show me a sAmoan dat compares to jonah..boxing..?in both american sAmoa en w.sAmoa never hav yall placed a metal not only in boxing but "PERIOD"..TONGA's population is only 103 thou..sAmoa is almost 179 thou, and A.sAmoa 66 thou..more den 140 thou more den us..yall better be wea yall at..
@alamoti4 Lol..dont mean to bust ur bubble but we have a 4 time olympic Gold Medalist who's also first ever to score perfect tens in his sport at the olympics and has widely been considered one of the best ever in DAT sport on the highest level at both DA olympics as well as world competions. A country ( china) whos diving team is a gold medal earning powerhouse every olympic games and has credited this athlete as 2 who they model their program after as far as style and precision..GREG LOUGANIS!
....that are way more complex, but yet each have their own identities and their own "stats". So hopefully you do this documentary justice and it comes out good.
Hey Tony, can you provide some sort of link or something referencing your claim that 60 minutes lumped all polynesians together to get that stat. It's very important that you stay as accurate (i'm sure you know) as possible when doing a documentary. Also, you should do your own research and not depend on other's research. Your justification of "there are too many different polyes" is weak. There are many types of asians, africans/blacks, palagis, native americans, middle easterns....
Last note: it has been the best experience shooting these subjects, and realizing how great our cultures are. I put Samoans and Tongans together because I thought it was a great way to tell both of our stories, since they are very similar. After interviewing both Samoans and Tongans, it has been a very positive film. Our film is only to inform, inspire, and promote growth not only among the two cultures, but for everyone that relates to our stories. Thanks you all for your support.
Hey folks, I understand the stats, again, pago684 has valid points. It is very difficult to do stats in general, let alone Polynesian stats, especially with half Polynesians and the different kinds Poly's etc. We will be finishing the film, and have great stories for you, the stats will be the last thing you think about after watching this. We hope to deliver a great movie for all fans. Thank you for all your support and feedback. Please stay positive. Director Tony Vainuku
@alamoti41 continued. pointed out. Im not ignorant to the fact that there are a fare share of tongans in the league and Much to luv to that and I dont argue the fact that have just as much a chance to make it to the league as Samoans per the piece by 60 minutes and many other media outlets.This is just based on the specifics on facts and constuctive criticism bruh so once the director has ran thru any last minute revisions nothing is in question by the public who this is intended for niggah!
@alamoti41 listen here homie aint no hating bruh..two things either its right or its wrong..either or im sure he's got it handled and taken care of. tRust when theres an issue im going to "Say It" Im not going to sugar coat it. I understand the brutha still filming this piece so rather point it out now then have it completed and mass produced then have it critized for inaccuracies. Stats especially in the public forum will be heavily critized which im sure the brotha understands and I simply

this is interesting how Polys in the US dominate football and also perceive it as a lifeline. In NZ, its a very different mindset; Polys dominate rugby but it is more a hobby then anything.

Polynesian Power narrated by The Rock (those 2 guys Sopoaga and Tinoisamoa are SAMOAN and so was the narrator) was on ESPN...American Samoa: Football Island was provided by and sponsored by 60minutes...56% of the kids born to SAMOAN parents are likely to make the NFL than any other race...no other study has been done like that for ANY other race so to put that 56% on this documentary would be FALSE and INACCURATE! If it was about SAMOANS than ok but wit other PolyRaces the % should go up???

Man I can't wait to see this film. I'm a Tongan from New Zealand, and all my boys are Samoan, Fijian, Niuean, and Maori. We live and breathe Rugby and Rugby League, but this is a different story, we are just excited to see poly boys excelling in NFL and makes us proud of what polynesians can achieve. If its sports or business etc. We are all from the same ocean and that's the PACIFIC OCEAN!
Keep it up my Toko's and USO's in the States. We are all proud of you guys!

@jdspear Thank you, I'm a big fan of Polynesian Power. I thought it was a great documentary that did indeed tell more about the Samoan culture than 60 min. 12 min. piece.

alamoti41 1 year ago
@alamoti41 so you are comfortable using population as an excuse. You want me to tell you whats good with the amt of tongans in the NFL. As you know, tongan migration (thanks to the LDS church and a growing number of tongans living in American Samoa) has increased about 140% since 1980. So with that, your "population" is steadily creeping up to the Samoans thus increasing your presence in the NFL. Second, as you said, "most tongans are full breeds in NFL", well of course...
roccdogg 1 year ago
@alamoti41 yaw got more first generation population. But just to let you know, Junior Seau (born in Samoa, 100% Samoan), Troy Polamalu (first generation Samoan, 100% Samoan), Jesse Sapolu (first generation, 100% Samoan), Lofa Tatupu (first generation Samoan), Mike Iupati (born in Samoa, 100%), etc....the list goes on with these "full breeds" and "first generations" so you tell me "wuss gewd".

Hey Tony, can you provide some sort of link or something referencing your claim that 60 minutes lumped all polynesians together to get that stat. It's very important that you stay as accurate (i'm sure you know) as possible when doing a documentary. Also, you should do your own research and not depend on other's research. Your justification of "there are too many different polyes" is weak. There are many types of asians, africans/blacks, palagis, native americans, middle easterns....

Last note: it has been the best experience shooting these subjects, and realizing how great our cultures are. I put Samoans and Tongans together because I thought it was a great way to tell both of our stories, since they are very similar. After interviewing both Samoans and Tongans, it has been a very positive film. Our film is only to inform, inspire, and promote growth not only among the two cultures, but for everyone that relates to our stories. Thanks you all for your support.

Hey folks, I understand the stats, again, pago684 has valid points.
