A visual poem to the heart of the Pacific Samoa. This Sacred Earth of Samoa which binds us within its Culture, speaks to us of a long and powerful history and inspires us with its Natural Beauty.
In the heart of the Pacific, is the well-spring of our cultural history and imagination, the very thing which defines who we are as a people.
Filmed around the southern mountain ranges and beaches of Samoa and with the backdrop of the famous Lalomanu Beach and Aga Reef Reef Resort, I Belong to the Sea is a love poem to the legendary beauty of Samoa.

I Belong to the Sea
"O a'u o le tagata folau "
O lenei le faasinomaga mo a'u,
Ou te ola saoloto e pei o taaviliga o savili
faapei o peau fafati e le malolo.
E te fia aufaatasi ma a'u?
Taua te saga sailiili i lenei pāneta paia,
Na toina mai ile tofa loloto a le Atua.
Sa fai ma nofoaga o saualii, o a lātou pele ia.
Aea Pā'aga na u'u lima i le sami e lei talia gatā.
E te fia 'auai faatasi ma a'u i lenei savaliga i le paneta paia?
O a'u o le tagata folau
I Belong to the Sea
This is the place where I belong
to move as free as the wind
to be as uncontrolled as the waves
Will you join me?
To discover this sacred earth
Pulled from the depths by the Gods
Where giants once walked
and lovers leaped hand in hand into the sea’s embrace
Will you walk this sacred Earth with me?
I belong to the Sea
