Destination Samoa (1998) Samoans Between Two Cultures 4K
Rare footage.. A Cultural Group of the New Zealand Police travels to Western Samoa to perform at the annual Teuila Festival. Two group members of Samoan origin also return to Samoa on this occasion. While for Auckland-born Tyrone Laurenson, a police officer in Auckland and president of the group, it is just one of his regular visits to Samoa, for Michael Alofa, who came to New Zealand with his parents as an eight-year-old and now works in the security industry, it is the first return after 20 years. By describing the two protagonists' everyday life and work as well as their feelings about the notion of "home", the film exemplifies the split and at the same time double cultural identity of migrants who remain rooted in their Samoan culture, while over the years a new, western-oriented identity in New Zealand emerges.
A project of Dr. Rolf Husmann, Peter Mesenhöller and Markus Hüsgen - Realization: TusitalaMovies

    One of the most important scenes in the original was completely ruined by poor direction. In the original, Johnny gave much weight to the price: ". . .but not enough, for Mahana." In this film, he whines like a 12-year-old.
