Polyfest 2024 Shirley Boys Highschool - BROTHERHOOD (Journey)

Weeks before Polyfest I took on the challenge to film and capture Shirley Boys’ journey to the stage. This 15 minute video showcases the struggle and preparation for the 2024 Polyfest, the yearning to prepare and commit to practices as well as to learn about their own or about another’s culture. I’ve gotten to witness the fellowship and Brotherhood from these group of boys enjoying every moment from beginning to end. The Three Main Boys are all year 13s, all with a goal to leave their mark as leaders, all were also Afakasis, Lachy (Samoan/Irish) Dereon (Tongan/Samoan) Montana (Samoan/Tongan) telling the importance of what culture means to them and showing it on stage. It’s been an incredible ride with them once again and Hope you enjoy the video!

That was beautiful, not just for my island nation of Samoa but for the culture that is Polynesia which only so few are a part of yet we share with the world. Faafetai le taumafai i le malaga mo le alofa le Ali’i, le alofa tunoa.
