The remarkable story of charismatic Samoan opera star Pene Pati who sang his way from humble origins in Samoa onto the world’s greatest opera stages.
This music-packed documentary tells the story of Pene Pati and his brother Amitai Pati, and their against-the-odds journey from Samoa to platinum-selling success in the trio Sol3 Mio and on to the world’s greatest opera stages. Bursting with humour, heart and soaring performances, the film reveals the resilience born of adversity, the richness of family and culture, and the rewards that come from following an unlikely dream.
The special screening also includes the premiere of the opening short film: The Kete Informs You, a portrait of Avondale-based Cook Islands weaver Teokota’i Paitai, directed by Andrew McGeorge. The documentary follows the artists process of creating a kete, the techniques he was taught and how he is passing this knowledge and wisdom on to others. It also explores where he draws artistic inspiration from and the broader role weaving plays in Pacific peoples culture and identity.
