Novel by Albert Wendt. Pepe is the son of a successful Samoan businessman who rejects his father's world and his Christianity. Although he becomes rebellious, anti-social, and engages in criminal activity, as well as being expelled from school, he manages to establish himself in business. However, when he gets his girlfriend pregnant, he takes on the responsibilities of a family. Through his close associate with half-cast dwarf, Tagata, he enters the supernatural realm of his traditional ways and begins to find some peace and meaning to his life.
Flying Fox In A Freedom Tree, his second book, deals with another area of Samoan experience - with those people who remain in Samoa or who return to Samoa after living in New Zealand. In this collection of eight short stories and a novella, Wendt tells the story of these 'strangers in a strange land' that happens to be their own. In doing so, he provides a 'brilliant study of a traditional island community caught up in the rapid changes of the twentieth century'. #samoamedia #samoa @samoamedia #flyingfox #samoa #samoan #samoamedia #documentary #movie #originalfilm #officialmovie #movies
