Who else came here from Twitter? 🥺🥺
Speechless ! Appreciate this short film & every theme that came out of it. Vinaka to everyone of you that made it possible, really is a great reminder to us all Fijians. Hats off guys ! 👏🔥
I am from Jamaica. but I like the movie. and I never even did know that Fijian speak more than one language.
Huh !. Jamiaca has Indians as well that came as Girmitiyas.
What a touching story. So much hate for others in every country. Its a choice people can make to spread brotherhood rather than hate. Vasudaiva kutumbakam.
This is like an actual movie
Well done Guys 👍🙂 I love watching this 😁 very emotional..we love our indian in Fiji u guys are always in our hearts 💕
Bro give these boys a tv show I would totally watch it
I use to live in Fiji on Mana Island as a missionary and spent lots of time on the mainland in Nadi area. Isa my heart was so torn the whole movie. My experience 10 years ago while living amongst Fijian and Indo Fijians was only love for one another. It’s hard to believe this history but then again this is the great controversy we live in. The battle between good and evil. Christ reigns and has won the battle even though it seems like we’re losing. Hold on saints! Christ is coming soon! My faith grew so much when I was a missionary in Fiji. I left my heart there. I will return Lord willing soon! Lolomas!
Wow .. unbelievable...best local film ever
I was liking the film until the part they were all gathered around the fire, chanting and worshiping rabuka.
I love this short film and the theme,It shows us a big lesson to look deeper in our hearts that we are One in God's face, never mind what racist you belong to, but we are equal to him as a brother and sisters..gb
So heartbreaking watching this .... I hope our leaders learn from this and understand that the decisions they make affect every family in this country, whatever race they belong to. We need God-fearing people as leaders so everyone may live in peace and harmony.
awesome stuff
Beautiful 💙💙
WE ARE ALL FIJIAN"S WE SHOULD KNOW THIS

Fictitious but factual.
Our Historians failed to ask and write about Tota Ram Sanadhya's experiences. Why did he class Fiji as Narak. And if Fiji was a Narak, then why only 24 thousand of the 60 Thousand left for Indian. Why did 60 Thousand stay back knowing they will never own any piece of the land.

Kaiviti duniya ka sa Saab se acha jat hay

Did that Hindustani boy really died? Was that bigger specific native Fijan boy really got shot by the military and got killed? We must be careful by making fiction not become a reality. By beholding we become changed. In 1987 it was a bloodless coup by Rabuka but the 2000 by the military using George and 2006 coup by military front man Bainimarama were all military. Why blame the Fijians and what we need to have is critical thinking skills to investigate who actually planned? The Fijian is a race to its etimology. The military is a system of defence for national security. Fijians and Indians do not hate each other and that is the fact of life. They live in harmony. Scholars doing thesis on coups in Fiji speculate on racism but fail to see the root of racism which was caused by their race with evidence. So the many books to point to Fijians or native Fijians as main cause of racism holds no water. Fijians are peace loving people and when Christianity came to their shores they changed and became Christlike. If not Indians would still be eaten like Mr. William Baker.
