That's very understandable as a parent you want the best for your kids of course u don't want them to get hurt and u always want to be by there side and protect them but u also have to let them make there own choices and there own mistakes and let them come to u when they need you but if u suspect ur childs in danger like tevita u help ur child coz thats wat parents are for i enjoyed this movie alot

Hi mojoe, Perhaps so - But you'll also find Tevita is a familiar Tongan name :) Quite familiar within the Samoan / Tongan community. There are a few examples of people with such names: Tevita Li, Tevita Ofahengaue, Tevita Satae Etc. We hope this doesn't offend you or anyone

Great message of a fathers quite loyalty. And his sons goal to gain his approval. Majority of sons lucky enough to have there father have that personal goal in mind eventually. So true if none is gone well some will go to thinking suicide when no one is looking

Love this short film many of our generations need to share their stories like this one was beautiful.

Damn man. I nearly went there. What a film.as a father of 4 this just hits

Unfortunately this is real shit happening today with our young ones.

Well teach them rugby doesn't last forever. That goes for every sport, and to plan for a future they can rely on. Nothing wrong with trying to play professional sport, just as long as you have something to fall back on.

Beautiful and blessings great relationship need heapz more of this kind of Awhi and support.

I know how that feels. I didn't live up to the idea I had in my head of how I thought I needed to be as a pro player. I felt depressed and started to binge eat. What I didn't know at the time is that I was subconsciously trying to eat myself to death. It was what the Therapist helped me to discover. But what I discovered on my own Is that it is impossible to eat yourself to death with vegetables being that I'm a vegan.

Im crying. dont know if its the awkward shite acting or the fact that this 100% relevent. :(

Yeah kids these days think they know better then there own parents but for us as parents we just want the best for our kids and even though our kids don't always agree with our decisions we expect them to except it because we love and care about them it might be unfair to them but where just putting there best interest at heart some kids try to live up to there parents expectations just to make there parents happy even though there kids heart isnt there

I read the comments before watching n didn't get the whole beard thing everyone was talking about, then at the end I almost fell off my chair, what the hell was that??

😔😔😔😭😭😭

Mean video

Samoa

Is cable Clark on this video

So sad movie

I'm confused ? so was he gonna take the drugs to commit suicide or takeaway the pain ? and did he continue to play rugby or did he get a job as his father said ?

the dad looks like my uncle

David

Luckily he just made it

Oh unluggy uce

Ok

They messed up his name. If they are Samoan his name should be Tavita. Tevita is a Tongans name.

lil ez n livia mccarthy famous lol

whats up with homies beard at the end

Bring back Glen Osborne

Sad

Wtf?! I don’t understand If I was the dad I would be proud of him Like 10 years to be finally livening his REAL dream. Yes looking after his family is important but isn’t the son achieving his dreams important? Like what the dad said “You can’t play rugby forever” umm? Same as looking after your family It’s hooks me that dads are more proud of their sons looking after fam than achieving their dreams.
