Carolanne Makakaufaki won the lead role in this film through her personal association with director Tony Fuemana.
Many members of the Tongan public were left fuming, after several hundred dollars' worth of this film's DVD purchases through the My Lost Kainga website were never fulfilled. Weeks after this movie's announced DVD release date, director Tony Fuemana went strangely absent, refusing to refund or recompensate the vast number of irate Tongans who lost money to him, by paying for non-existent DVDs. According to Fuemana, the film has never been released on DVD, due to "piracy concerns". To this day, several years later, many customers continue to await their refunds, which most realize they will never receive.
