Red, White & Brass
Trailer
When Maka and Veni fail in getting tickets for the most important game of their lives, they decide to form a traditional Tongan marching band, just so they can go to the game. No one in their band of misfits knows anything about marching and they practice using plastic bottles and tin cans for instruments. It is a complete shambles and if they can't get their act together, they will embarrass their entire Tongan community in front of the world. However, what starts out as just a cynical scam to see a rugby game becomes a journey of self-discovery in which Maka and Veni will learn the importance of their Tongan culture.

What a heartwarming gem of a film! A straightforward, humorous, and endearing true story about a group of Tongans who, in spite of their lack of musical ability, formed a brass band in order to score tickets to the 2011 Rugby World Cup. It is full of mafana (pure passion), humor, and cultural pride. The cast is excellent, particularly John-Paul Foliaki, who plays Maka. An incredible pleasure to watch—fun, inspirational, and so heartfelt!
