[@adambamf9365]

[@juicepatek9262]

Mother’s and grandmothers are really the rock of the family. The foundation to everything the children becomes... It takes a toll on the younger ones. And sometimes it’s sad cus they get lost without them and tend to break down... But always trust in god. You’ll always get thru

[@gracebluesgraceblues9769]

thats my cousin and my auntie

[@usomexmartin220]

My Grandfather was the Rock for my family, when he died? Everything fell apart 😔

[@Faleata.3b]

Sometimes we to selfish not to recognize the love from someone.until they disappear

[@marianamarino126]

Very true.

[@obdiane]

Yes, especially for our parents.

[@HooLeeYo]

Cherish your loved ones right now, right this moment, do not wait, because tomorrow is never guaranteed.

[@yourhighness9191]

This is my biggest fear, to lose my mother will be the end of me I feel, I've already had a taste of what lossing my brother felt like, it's like a never ending heart breaking sensation you feel in your soul its hard to explain but can't never forget the pain.

I’m Maori and Samoan but born and raise in NZ until I met my Aunty who came from Samoa and introduce herself to me and she always makes yummy Samoan food like coconut cream with kumara. Until she past away from a heart attack. I always remember her

[@dericksuapaia]

I love you mom. Always will. I love you too my beautiful sisters. Where ever you guys are and where ever you guys go. I. Love. You.

[@dericksuapaia]

Love my pacific brothers and sisters! From a European/Maori❤️❤️❤️

[@c0nstant.elevati0n]

We're a big family in nz mbro ✌️

[@Teineoleuilaemo]

When the sister places dinner on the table you see her brothers heart warm up through his smile because its what their mum would cook or made before her passing... and yes okay I’m balling my eyes out!! Who else? 😭🥰

[@freshig1179]

A beautiful film with meaning. We all lose that special person in our lives for which we must adjust to, not saying its any easier but for every moment without that person you realise how truly valuable they are, remembering the moment in life you shared. Love and Cherish your loved ones.

[@Getsumsimm]

Itione Gafa I’m scared of losing my parents big bro I’m from Africa I can’t live without them they all I have I got nothin else in life. Thanks for your bewutiful message.

[@mahinajohn-varu5395]

We only ever realise how much we love someone when there’re gone😭😭

[@caroleota6325]

The saddest we don't know the time that mum or mothers will be taken from us. What I have seen in this short script mcripr was teaching her children how to give thanks to God for what He has given for the day. She showed her children the important of eating together and doing things together in a family. I treasured this script it short but the message is very important. To reach out to ur culture there are people in there they have good qualities in life to give a hint of how u can cope with this kind of problem. 😂😂Love it💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@mangatavete3653]

I cant imagine losing my mum man she's my world

[@maryfiaola3686]

watching again 2022. Still making me teary eyed as usual. Great video, one of the best x

[@anavefaaui6209]

I’ve never really thought about my parents dying and how I’d feel. My goal in life is to repay them for what they gave me because they bought me here and I have to love them now or never.

[@xavierhill2098]

This film really gets me to cause my godfather who is like a second father to me passed away, I was an emotional wreck. He was always telling me to focus in school, look after my bros and that's what I had to try and do, look after my 3 brothers and put them before me. This took a toll on me mentally, spiritually and physically but I will do right by him. Aiga First RIP Uncle Peter Fafetai Uncle

[@YourDistantCuzn]

Love to all the families that loose a love one that had been holding it down forever. Its the little thing that count thanks to the uploader

[@angelinalafoga-toilolo2848]

im samoan and i dont really understand the samoan words so thank god this is in english!!!and this made me cry!😭😁

[@lusia82manurewamanurewa98]

We learn from the love our parents that its better to cook food than spending it on take a ways I can so relate to this, once you have learned all the things that value in your family it's your turn to keep it going this is what I will miss once my parents/nana/papa pass on this is why aiga is so important to Pacific families this is the start of where you learn everything love this film so beautiful xo

[@bellalologa5543]

That hit me in the feels 😭 I cried even more cause that’s what my nana says to me all the time b4 I go school🌸💖

[@sydpeantuilaepa8187]

My heart goes out to my Mum can't live without her

[@richardtaufi14]

So Blessed to be a Samoan so blessed and thankful for my parents, grandparents, and great grandparents to have shown us (siblings) our roots, where we come from and the meaning of Aiga I’m in tears watching this I miss home so badly so far away from the west coast to the east coast planning a huge surprise my parents finally get to meet their grandchildren it’s been 7yrs since I’ve seen them... Be humble and stay blessed🤙🏾 SSgt. Taufi USMC

[@estellesului3962]

Makes me feel so many emotions😢

[@OGELUALUA]

great life lesson/reminders here..never take our oldies for granted 😪

[@juanitaauelua2693]

This movie was very emotional I do feel for the sister and the brother im.happy they have each other the sister stepped up to take care of her brother did the best she could Ryan wanted to have a feed the way his mum made it how sweet

[@shayah-san8913]

This reminded me so much of my nana... made me cry my heart out watching this! Our elders are the glue to most families and my nana was definitely mine. Ughhh such a beautiful video

[@maemaejohnson4099]

This video is very important to me because this is also my culture and i got really emotional when the mom died and the boy started treating his sister badly, so everyone please cherish the moments you have because happiness is only an illusion to reality so be happy for what u have

[@icemahn7857]

Nothing beats a home cooked meal ❤

I lost my beautiful Mother not too long ago, and it is difficult. Mahalo for sharing this, reminded me alot of my mom.

[@meleliata3528]

Condolences to you brother my mum is still in my life and thinking about the thought of losing her hurts me enough, I don't wanna think about it, I know one day she will be here and I like to think she'll be here forever immortal that's just me tryna ignore the true reality of life much ofas to you be the best and do your best in dedication to your ma your mums there just soring with the rest of the angels in the sky 🛫 Lingi Lowci

Aiga means Family

[@samoaforever6595]

It's rare to have such a small Samoan aiga. I have a very small aiga and I know how they feel.

[@maruraipalepua7958]

It makes me miss my mother inlaw so much 😭😭

[@mkhalimik1862]

I love that the story never got out of the house, and also how powerful foods depicts love or hate. Well done guys👏👏👏👏 All the way from South Africa.

[@maccart67]

Thank you Isack Hoppitt, actors and crew. Food, family and love.

[@alikavelleses3606]

Reminds me of how I grew up. After dad passed when I was 11, my sister and mom cared extra to help me become the man I am today. In poly families the bond we have is strong. Beautiful story. Thanks.

[@elyonleota8125]

lost someone very special but I always has mum to keep the samoa life going

[@princescanlan2605]

Wow so beautiful and touching. We learn from our elders and make the best for our "Aiga"

[@Redneck903]

This short film brought tears to my eyes for sure. Although I'm half Samoan, I was raised in east Texas not the islands. Because I was adopted by a white family who raised me in a good home, I don't know too much about what it truly means to have Samoan blood coursing through my veins. Even so, I cried maybe more for myself than these kids losing their mom. Who knows?

[@Tuna685]

Track down your aiga uso. You'll find them if you look. Good luck

Holy shit tear freakin jerker... All of us can relate.. Se ufa my eyes are sweating

[@capyparis]

Idk why I cried so much 😂😢 It's just sad to think about when our parents go on and like how we are getting older and how our parents are getting older too. Never Take Family For Granted 💗

[@angelt9836]

Indeed our mothers are the core to all families. Its ashame that when we do lose our loved ones, apart of us dies too which is the culture that we thought was embarrasing infront of others. But when the time comes, we do know the blessings our mothers bestowed onto us, its just findinv the confidence to accepting that we are unique and we will make it regardless if we are fluent or not Embrave the love from all your loved ones, its amazing what teachings they leave with you even though we may not see it. Alofaaga❤

[@brendaprayerfaamanu1904]

Many thanks to the producer of such short beautiful & meaningful clip. I reckon short clips like ths are far more effective in the most positive way than some of the Samoan movies I've seen so far. The message was clear & simple. Job well done. 👌🇼🇸🔥

[@valuvivao1236]

Good lovely family movie, I just want to continue the movie please

[@22LEKI]

There's always a depressing or hardship undertone to most Samoan film. Says alot about how we view ourselves.

[@Skybar23]

I wouldnt say depressing or hardship..its more about perseverance ...and adapting to change.

[@vonkoppel23]

Damn this hits hard. I lost my mum at 9. It’s hard adjusting to reality when the main person that gave you everything leaves this earth. There’s no pain greater than losing a parent.

[@mcsuchnsuch]

Vena Von Koppel Sorry about your mom but there is a greater pain, it’s a parent losing a child. It’s unnatural.

[@ThatGuy-qh5ec]

@@mcsuchnsuch Don't compare, they're both painful to adjust too. Different experiences for different types of people.

[@mcsuchnsuch]

@@ThatGuy-qh5ec oh, you’re that kae.

[@ThatGuy-qh5ec]

@@mcsuchnsuch No I'm not, I'm just saying it's kind of rude to compare loss from different types of people. You should help them instead.

[@MagicVato]

Alofas from the UK🙌🏽 Aiga

[@uts4448]

In Chuukese we have a word called “ainang”. It means like a clan/family that you belong to. I believe “aiga” means the same thing as “ainang”. Also we have a word called “manaman” which means like a supernatural power. I believe it has the same meaning as “mana”. Also when we are passing through people, we bow/crouch down slightly while saying “tirow” (like saying “excuse me”; being respectful). I believe this is the same meaning as “tulou”. Just some things that I’ve noticed.
