A few behind the scene footage of the making
This was probably one of the most surprising movies to me, being that such private things aren't really given the spotlight in Samoa. It's just awesome to watch and know that there's progress being made and that the Samoan Artists are doing well their jobs. Within the movie some very intimate aspects of Samoan culture are seen. Some of these ways might be hard for people to understand, as to why families might claim burial rights and even fight over them. There's also a very old traditional way of punishing that's seen in the movie where mats are left over the people as they ask for forgiveness.
The movie is very interesting also because no one knew of a small-sized man in Samoa, except for locals, until the movie was cast. Seems to be a bit of destiny in there. The movie then goes into the courage and wisdom one must have to be the leader of a Samoan family.
The movie was released by Transmission Films in Australia, and Madman in NZ, Written and Directed by Tusi Tamasese. The movie is as emotional as the Maori movie "Whale Rider", released in 2002. The movie "The Orator", is a must see. I personally hope to see more of Tusi Tamasese's work.
