Following a record-breaking release in Aotearoa/New Zealand - Pasifika Film Fest, Satiu Studios & Madman Entertainment are pleased to present a special premiere screening of Miki Magasiva’s stirring new film, TINĀ.
This premiere event will be a celebration of Pasifika art and culture, featuring Pacific performances, a complimentary soft-drink on arrival, along with the opportunity to meet filmmaker Miki Magasiva and actor Beulah Koale who will be participating in a Q&A following the screening.
Tinā is the story of Samoan teacher Mareta Percival. Struggling after the death of her daughter in the Christchurch earthquakes, Mareta reluctantly takes on the role of substitute teacher at an elite, wealthy private school and is surprised to find children crying out for guidance, inspiration, and love. Using the symphony of her culture to empower her students, she forms a choir, bringing them together while unexpectedly rediscovering her passion for being a teacher and mother.
