With Tinā, Magasiva has poured his memories, his culture, and his heart into the big screen. And if early reactions are anything to go by, he may just have created a new classic that our people can call their own.

Tinā may not be reinventing the genre, but it is singing its own song. One that deserves to be heard.

Fantastic movie, many more stars. I am an avid movie viewer and 'Tina" is my most favourite movie for the 20th and 21st Century so far. An emotional ride and the music is wonderful. An absorbing story giving you many smiles and a lot of tears. If you only see one movie this year at the theatre make this it. Fabulous.
