'Rites Of Courage' by Miki Magasiva
This short film written and directed by Miki Magasiva explores the rite of tatau and the coming of age of the Samoan young man in the modern age (Traditional vs Modern Day).
Tatau is the original word and practice that tattoo has been derived from. Young men of Samoa undergo the rite, being tattooed from hips to chest in a painful, traditional Samoan ceremony.
