Sons

Sons explores a volatile, fractured extended family of Samoans, New Zealand-born Samoans, palagi, and afakasi (half caste), and a variety of family 'legitimacies'. Noah, a successful young afakasi man, goes to see his father after a ten year silence. During his visit he sees a photograph of his half brother, who he always knew existed but has never met. Ignoring the advice of his mother and grandmother, he delves into his unexplored Samoan heritage, leading to an explosive and emotionally gripping climax
