Description Fia Ola is the story of a boy growing up in a small village in Western Samoa during the '60's. Iosefa moves to new Zealand in search of new life, and in striving for acceptance, loses sight of his identity. When he regains himself, Iosefa embraces both the old and new - and that's the cornerstone of Black Grace's work.
