Red, White & Brass - Official Trailer

 

When Wellington Tongan superfan Maka (John-Paul Foliaki) fails to secure tickets to a hometown Rugby World Cup match between France and Tonga, he reaches for… the nearest trumpet. Maka rallies his mates into a last-minute marching brass band to represent Tonga at the big game, and get into the stadium. Navigating gangsters, bureaucrats and skeptical community elders, he is undeterred by his lack of musical talent—and lack of proper instruments. 

For our group of unlikely heroes no mountain was too high, no valley too low, and no time limit too short to learn to play the tuba! This joyous and entertaining underdog story celebrates the 'extra-ness' and infectious positive energy that is a superpower for Tongans.
