Destination Samoa

In the organizer's words:

In 1999, the documentary film DESTINATION SAMOA was made in Göttingen, documenting the lives of two wanderers between two worlds: Police officer Tyrone Laurenson and security officer Michael Alofa commute between Auckland in New Zealand and Apia in Samoa as people who have grown up in two Polynesian cultures.
By depicting the everyday lives and feelings of the protagonists, the film illustrates the dual cultural home of migrants: It portrays two people who are rooted in their Samoan culture while living a second, Western-oriented identity in New Zealand.
Even after 30 years, the film has lost none of its topicality. Together with author and ethnologist Ortrud Krickau, Göttingen filmmaker Markus Hüsgen is now planning a second part of the film: "Destination Samoa Reloaded". Following the screening, interested viewers will be able to talk to the filmmakers in a Q&A.
