Le Afi Ua Mu: The Fire is Burning Part 1

'Le Afi Ua Mu: The Fire Is Burning' explores the difficulties that confront Samoan youth separated from their cultural heritage.

Afakasi (half-Samoan) filmmaker Shane Seggar interweaves his own experiences with those of young Samoan men in Samoa and Los Angeles as he explores the social and cultural dynamics that lead Samoan youth to join gangs in the United States.
