Join us at QMSU for a special screening of The Orator as part of our Goes Continental campaign. The Orator is a powerful and critically acclaimed Samoan drama that explores identity, dignity, and the fight to be heard.
The film follows Saili, a shy and physically small man, who must confront deep-rooted cultural expectations and personal challenges to protect his family and stand up for what is right. Beautifully shot and emotionally resonant, The Orator offers a rare glimpse into Samoan village life, tradition, and storytelling.
This is a moving, beautifully paced film that celebrates courage, community, and finding one’s voice — perfect for anyone who enjoys world cinema, drama, or stories grounded in lived experience.
Entry: Free
