Includes short films: 'Songs in the Key of Rugby' - Rugby is a way of life in Fiji, with deep meaning and spiritual significance. It is an expression of the passion and vitality of Fijian males and although their country has one of the worlds smallest populations, they have become a dominating force in the sport. (Perhaps because their warrior heritage is quite recent!) This short film made on the island of Vanua Levu explores how the player's fundamental connection to their village brings a level of heart to the game that is unmatched in western society. At the film's end, Dramea says "it's all about family." As it is everywhere in Fiji. 'How Singing the Gospel Changed Fiji' - In only the last 100-150 years, Fijian people have come from a warrior culture to being renowned as one of the most loving and heartfelt people on our planet. One of the prime movers in this rapid change was their adoption of the Gospel of Christ as a guide to follow a path of peace. Singing is how Fijians express these feelings most eloquently. Every Sunday, most Fijians are called to church with the lali (drum) and that quiet rhythm is an invitation for you to come along with us for 9 minutes of gospel wisdom. These are the people of Vivili village on the island of Vanua Levu. 'Vivili Kids Sing After Church' - After church we went to Lily's house for lunch and the kids serenaded me with more song and dance. If only children in the West had this sort of playfulness and joy, especially after sitting two hours in church! It is the dream of how we know children can be. This is a companion piece to "How Singing the Gospel Changed Fiji".

A tribute to one of the most resourceful, creative and kind people I know... Tula Ram in Savusavu on the island of Vanua Levu, Fiji. His triple-cab Mazda Titan is the only one of its kind in Fiji, and perhaps the only one in the world.

Bula vinaka! Come to the parade! Here's an experience of the world-renowned Fiji Police Marching Band as they boogie down the main street of Savusavu on the island of Vanua Levu. Yes, these are police. And they dance in the streets in Fiji.

Beauty, song and the Garden of Eden in this second film in the series from Vanua Levu — a very magical and musical short about Setareki the farmer and his family at the Naqaqa farm, near Nandala Bay and at the foot of Mt. Serenitoba on the island of Vanua Levu, Fiji. They grow Taro, Casava, and vegetables — and they sing. Like angels.
