The Orator (O le tulafale)

The Orator (O Le Tulafale) is a contemporary, dramatic feature film written and directed by Tusi Tamasese and shot on the island of Upolu in Samoa. The story of the film is a universal one of love, honour and courage. This is cloaked in the language, setting & events that are authentically and uniquely Samoan.

The Orator (Samoan: O Le Tulafale) is a 2011 Samoan and New Zealand film written and directed by Tusi Tamasese. It is the first ever Samoan feature film, "entirely shot in Samoa, in the Samoan language, with a Samoan cast and story". The film was selected as the New Zealand entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 84th Academy Awards, but it did not make the final shortlist. It is the first time New Zealand have submitted a film in this category
