This page is still in development but for the time being I share particularly interesting contributions to the value of video.

Video for Health and Social Transformation

Inspired by the use of video in Tonga to connect and serve the interests of community I called my company Potolahi Productions. Poto means socially astute, lahi means a lot. I am trying to live up to the name I gave myself. Visual anthropology is one of the key frames I locate my video projects and experiments. I am interested in video and visual anthropology for health and community. So co-creation and collaboration are key values in my work. This website is a way of understanding what I do and finding the values of video that serve the interests of research and transformation.
