One of the crown jewels of Visual Communications’ landmark video docu-drama series “Hidden Treasures,” Omai Fa'atasi profiles the Samoan American youth development organization of L.A.’s South Bay communities, and unveils the history of Samoan migration to America. Ofering a crucial voice to the perspectives and aspirations of Samoan American youths and young adults, Omai Fa'atasi provides a glimpse into a largely misunderstood community whose members strive to become integrated into American society without losing their traditions and values.
