- 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

I think most overseas Samoans feel a tug at their heart when visiting Samoa , a sense of knowing where your roots are. However the truth is, most Samoans in the World now are International citizens. The call to visit the motherisland gets stronger as a Samoan gets older
I appreciate this, Being a teenager in the 90s was a bittersweet experience with all the small local gang activity. Salute for keeping this archived.
Awesome documentary… real slice of life doco and almost a time capsule.. offers an insight into what it’s like to be Samoan in the modern age ❤️🙏🏽🇼🇸🇦🇸
Watching this as a Samoan in the US. My family is originally from Savai'i but I've never been cause my grandpa passed before I was born. It's cool to see how our Samoan heritage still unifies us abroad. From Samoans in Aotearoa to the ones here out West. I hope we can all maintain continuous connection to our homeland.
Kalofae, may these elders rest in peace ❤
Touching documentary... and definitely opened up my perspective on samoa. Otara boy. I feel like these people are my older cousins and uncles. Good to see what life was like back then, I wish i could time travel to the past. Im grateful for those who have come before us and even more excited for those that are going to come after us. God bless.
Wow. My family moved to Sydney in 1997 from Mount Roskill. We are Tongan and like South Auckland there was a Tongan community in Sydney (Mascot) where the Tongan Church was located. I was only 12 years old when we moved . Everything Ive seen in this video is exactly how I remembered Auckland...many good childhood memories 💙
Yes! Sydney was Tongan central. Back in the 70’s and 80’s - a lot of the Tongan diaspora were within Eastern Suburbs, Inner West Sydney and the city areas towards Northern Beaches. Lots of other islanders too but they ventured out more towards the south and the west sides of Sydney. Lots of Samoans around Liverpool/Campbelltown/Penrith/Blacktown ways.
This is so cool! Great to see the old school hairstyles, clothes and cars etc.. makes you think how much things have changed over the years. Don’t see people glued to their cell phones in the old school world..
Thank you for posting really enjoyed watching this. What an era the 90s was #274 #SamoaMoSamoa
My first time iv been to New Zealand south Auckland was 1998 to visit my moms older brother first time he was the first generation been there since 1948 new zealand is one the most beautiful place iv been to I'm from the USA born and raise but I never seen so many polynisian in one place when I went to new zealand every where I went their polys never experience that before it was awesome but at same time I think I'm happy not to be around so many polys back in USA it's just me I guess lol we tend to get in alot of trouble when we together in the USA for youths so tend to not hang out with samoans only my cousins I hang out with and Filipinos anyways love this documentary much blessings much alofas from park city utah
I would've still been living in Otara at this time, almost 30 years ago, boy how time flies.
Love watching these documentaries brings back so many memories, especially seeing old footage of places we'd go 😭 so much nostalgia watching this ❤
amazing footage,
Very proud of cousin, Inspector Tyrone Laurenson, Wow what a trip back in time!
Wow crisp footage as if it were filmed in present times so awesome. Thanks
Great video! Love my beautiful peeps and culture! Thanks for sharing..
Thanks for the documentary 🙏 I think this is the best time in Samoa in the 90s, It's not the same in Samoa since technology changes our cultural way of lifestyles. Samoa is more of a business Island now but the feeling of a pacific life is not there any more.
My nanas 70th birthday ❤
Wonderful
this was amazing
Our family land is where the mc Donald stands now .my grandmas sibling had a fallout over the land cause one sibling that lived there sold it well my grandma was here in nz. Sad. %TAUFUSI
@8:31 Bader Drive Mangere before Paknsave. The old DB bar and hotel I remember where Paknsave is now. Mangere town Center with its big carpark before the Art Gallery and the OG sign. Road looks quieter then.
