A Boy Called Piano - The Story of Fa'amoana John Luafutu
Film (Trailer) – 2021
I don't belong to my parents. I belong to the government.
– Faʻamoana John Luafutu
May the truth set us free.
– Faʻamoana John Luafutu
Fa’amoana Luafutu is a courageous voice for the voiceless thousands of Māori and Pasifika children who suffered and continue to suffer in the system. This film is a testament to his and his family’s courage.
– Director Nina Nawalowalo, The Big Idea, 27 May 2022
