I remember this story my mum told to me as a kid, and the history of ata island,their survival is reflective of the tongan culture, of having 'ofa' or love for each other and everyone. Tongan culture is collective, tongans will take you under their wing and look after you. It's the tongan way 🥰❤🇹🇴
I was taken in by a Tongan family for a few nights when I was stranded in Hawaii hours after my best friend and uncle died right in front of me. Their family member had just died too at the same hospital. I was literally going to spend the night in the bushes, flat broke (I spent every dime I had just to get there from Oregon) They were all smiles and joyful. They made a feast both nights. I'll always remember them for being an anchor of positive love in what was probably the toughest time of my life.
I have stumbled upon the story of "The Lord of the Flies" then I got curious if something similar have happened in our history of mankind. I'm grateful to find this story, because it just proved that man is not savage contradict to what was portrayed in 'lord of the flies'. Thank you sir for sharing your experience with us, you are a good man, and bless the survivors as well you are all strong and intelligent.
@@Docastaway yeah very tragic to hear. Ironic that he becomes famous for saving castaways that had a shipwreck and 60 years later dies because of a capsized boat.
We have recently spent 10 days on Ata island with Kolo Fekitoa, one of the six teenage castaways. It was his last wish before he died ruclips.net/video/88noN4PoJqc/видео.html
Last wish before he died ? Was he sick, is he dead now? How long after the visit to Ata did he die.? Sad sad story... Bless his soul and family. RIP Kolo 🙏🙏🙏

RIP to this hero. He not only saved these boys, but he also rescued a separate group of 4 people lost at sea in 1974.

Bare girls sucks 🍄🍄🍄
Bear Grylls is an amature

Same Omg…my heart
Amazing story and forever grateful to you Peter Warner! God bless you and ofa atu from Kolo Fekitoa families!
Greeting to you :) By the way are you Ana?

Yes. Thats one of the reason why it was easy for them to survive on the island :)
Yes heard about them very nice people.

Great testimony to the story, amazing that he could tell it how it happened, thanks!
yes. We are lucky to get his testimony 🙂
Thanks for recording the true story. These boys are really strong physically and mentally!
:) :) :) Thanks to you :)
God bless this guy 🇹🇴
RIP
I just love this story. Seen this a few times but it not stops me from being amazed on how they survived and supported each other.
RIP Peter Warner
Thank you Pita!I grew up and heard great stories about you!We just missed you Warner Shipping lines
:) :) :)
Amazing story. Can't wait to see the Holywood movie version.
Yes it is amazing :)
@@Docastaway when is the documentary coming out ?
@@samjones8697 I watched this today
ruclips.net/video/Ph2azNQ_f5Q/видео.html
Amazing life experience!
:) Yes it was
Amazing testimony. very emotional :)
:)
malo aupito Pita Uona. looking forward to the documentary to come out soon.
:) :) :) Malo Aupito
This is such an amazing story of survival.
I'm so grateful to see your story ❤️
he could still have reached more than a hundred years for a good savior like him
it's sad
did the book or documentary advertised at the end of this video ever release? Cant seem to find anything about it.
Wow amazing 🙏
Yes it is :)
Oh wonder how they were filmed...? Amazing teamwork for the sake of survival.
They were brought back to the island a few days after they were rescue. Only to act and be filmed
@@Docastaway Oh Wow! You guys are awesome. Thanks for responding. Indeed a lot of lesson to learn from their story. 🙏
Just stumbled across this. Has the documentary and book been released?
sad to hear that he passed away yesterday in ballina nsw
Yes. it is terrible news :( :( :( His boat capsized
@@Docastaway yeah very tragic to hear. Ironic that he becomes famous for saving castaways that had a shipwreck and 60 years later dies because of a capsized boat.
Love it story
Thanks :)
Bless this man
Thanks 🙂
Can’t believe that Island was/still is deemed uninhabitable. Our Poly people were built for this.
Yes. But Ata Island actually quite hostile to live in
Very cool!
😉
very nice
Thanks mermaid :)
Did the boys ever say why they left in the first place, why things were so bad at St. Andrews?
S Alan they just wanted to go on a trip to Fiji and got lost
@@nabilkablaoui1417 no that’s dumb why would they steal a boat? They wanted to run away from that place, the question is why.
@@etoatoummhmm6391 thats what a documentary I saw said
They thought that their boarding school was too strict!
The natural inertia to leave your Island , because of the sure knowledge that another one is just over the horizons...
Where I can buy the book?
Where can I watch the full story
They made us read lord of the flies at school if I'd heard this story I'd have wanted to do
something similar
Have any movie?
ルトガーブレグマンの著書「Humankind」から来ました!
すぐ映像で本人にアクセスできるのすごいなぁ!感動!
You never quite know who is on the island or the boat. Convict or castaways...❤
❤❤❤❤
We have recently spent 10 days on Ata island with Kolo Fekitoa, one of the six teenage castaways. It was his last wish before he died ruclips.net/video/88noN4PoJqc/видео.html
Last wish before he died ?
Was he sick, is he dead now? How long after the visit to Ata did he die.?
Sad sad story...
Bless his soul and family.
RIP Kolo 🙏🙏🙏
Where is the documentary about Lang that was coming in 2019?
It was on TV. We will launch it on this channel In November :)
i'm here on wikipedia's 'recent deaths' corner which i check daily.
Sad news :(
Now that Peter had died, the question is what happens to the film and who has the right to this story.
We are sure the castaways who are still alive can still manage it
rip imagine drowning at the age of 90 thats fucked up
Yes it is sad. And he passed away at sea
Maybe, for a sailor and fisherman, it's the way to go. 90 years old was a good run,.... like in The Big Blue film.. Rip, Peter.... 🙏
Is it gonna be on Netflix? Nekflik in Tongan 😜😂🤣🤙
We dont know :)
Wow hope they make a movie of these strong young Tongan boys and their saviour.
glad to see them look healthier than Tom Hanks
Lasca a rõla em Tonha

First time I ask one like this: Anyone here from …. Rutger Bregmans "Humankind"?
yes ! Incredible book
Hollywood had made many a stupid movie about many a stupid person.
Why not make a movie about this amazing RL story?
Gw kesini cuma gara2 sisi terang... 😂😂😂
Imagine if Fatai didnt know how to speak english... Also curious about their fishing experiment.
:) It was funny but Peter said that later he found out that the techniques of the Tongan people were much more efficient than his systems :)
I wonder if me and the boys could survive like that
Long story short we are dead

Makes me want to watch Gilligan's island lol
