- Summary:
- This two-part film explores religious freedom in Samoa through a recent case in the village of Salamumu, where a family was persecuted twice in less than two decades. The village council had ordered the most severe of Samoan punishments, mu le foaga (raze the nest), which means to kill and erase all trace of the people concerned. The family's crime was to start its own home-based bible study class and no longer attend the Methodist Church. Village actions were based on a council ruling passed in 1916 prohibiting any faith other than Methodism in the village.
