          It is the first ever Samoan feature film, "entirely shot in Samoa, in the Samoan language, with a Samoan cast and story".[2] The film was selected as the New Zealand entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 84th Academy Awards,[3] but it did not make the final shortlist.[4] It is the first time New Zealand has submitted a film in this category.[5][6]
