Congratulations to Joleen J
Congratulations to Joleen J Brown Mataele, 'Ilaisaane Sisi'uno Helu & the many people who helped to produce this documentary. A special shout out to Papiloa Foliaki, the founder of the Tonga Leitis Association, long time activist for social justice for her ongoing contribution & inspiration. Heart warming to read the support from Tonga's Royal Family, the Queen of England & the Commonwealth and the many awards & prizes from the Film Festivals where the film has been been shown. I look forward to hearing responses from our Parliamentarians and church leaders who can do more to change people's behaviour & negative attitudes towards the leitis & anybody who may be "different" in our communities. Malo Joey Joleen Mataele for your efforts to improve ihe quality of life for ALL God's children on Planet Earth.
