[janson84]

[SouthStags88]

@janson84 Because she got pregnant before she was married.That's why she gets upset when her daughter lands in the same predicament.

[Margaretfalekaono]

Seki a man lol

[SkeeBiscuitz007]

IMPRESSIVE & POWERFUL Trailer! Cant wait to see this when it comes out.

When an Matai speaks, the use of nature and the environment to describe or express ones view is poetic and diplomatic. The language they use is quite different to the language spoken at home by the common samoan.

It is said, that only one other culture communicates like this, and that is the Egyptians. Pharoahs spoke a different language to that was spoken at home by the common egyptian..

Loud and Proud Samoan..

[steeljawz]

Where can I rip a copy of this free on internet....somebody in NZ has to have copied this already...damnnnn\

[eshaysdoggi]

0 dislikes!!! Awesome! Looks a great film

[iaheto]

A beautiful moving story, and well crafted movie. I saw this movie yesterday and I still feel profoundly moved to the point where I want to give back by sharing how much I loved the film. A must see film even if you're not Samoan, but if you are be prepared to be lifted to new heights.

The writer and director Tusi Tamasese, and the cast and crew have captured the essence of Samoa in this wonderful film, and it is beautiful. Very proud to be Samoan.

[veryvalea1]

Oh dang!!! This looks amazing!

[samoanz77]
