Скачать или смотреть Samoa: I Crossed a Border That Shouldn’t Exist | Travel, Culture, Island Life

I'm in Oceania! I travelled to both Independent Samoa and American Samoa — two islands with the similar people, language, and history, but divided by time, culture, and colonial legacy. One side is calm and traditional, the other loud and Americanized — even down to a full-blown prom parade in the rain with dressed up teens in pickup trucks. They’re just a short flight apart, yet sit on different days of the week — guess time travel is real! From quiet streets to honking celebrations, we’ll explore what happens when one island becomes two very different worlds.
