Tala Pasifika - Malama
- Description:
- This short drama about losing a loved one features actor Jay Laga'aia (Street Legal). Young Malama (Saili Williams) lost her eyesight in the car crash that killed her mother. Although Nalama can't see in the physical world, she has gained a window into the spirit world. Her father (Laga'aia) still grieves, and can't cope with raising the kids. His frustrations manifest as anger. When Malama and her brother attend their baptism, the family crisis hits boiling point. Written by ex Tagata Pasifika reporter Aaron Taouma, Malama screened on television in 1996, as part of pioneering Pasifika drama series Tala Pasifika.
