This is why I am Proud to be Dominican!! The Beauty, Happiness, Struggles, Nature, Family. Don't have words to describe what I feel about my country. I can relate a lot to this video, Because me like a lot of people have experience the same as this family. Thanks for the video, And remember one thing. No matter where we are, We don't forget where we came from!!!!
Thanks so much for sharing these inspiring words with us and for watch the video! I've been so honored to be able to visit, know people and film in the Dominican Republic.
man you got me in tears I'm grew up in NYC I live here now and I can tell you you the best thing that ever happen to me
My father had to study under a street light to go to college, I appreciate his sacrifice to give us all a better life.
RIP Sr. Cande. You Sir epitomize, and are a standard bearer, of what a man is supposed to be! I was in Zona Colonia in February with my flaquita Josefina. We were eating a light lunch an saw a older couple enjoying each other. I told her that this is what i desired for us siempre. But after seeing this documentary, Juana and Cande stole the show! I'm gonna forward this to my flaquita to look at. Bless you Story Doc.
I'm Mexican-American and I loved this film. What a wonderful love story made me cry. Much love to my Latino brothers and sisters in the D.R. May God bless this beautiful familia.
Thanks so much for your kind words about the story and family Marc!
@@storydoc2115 You did a wonderful job as a film maker!
“The only thing value to a person is honor.”
Spoken by a real Latino man that takes care of and loves his family. I’m proud to be Latino and that is what I instilled in my daughter.
They are rich in family memories and love.
Yes, they are! It was such an honor and pleasure to do this documentary with the family and to be welcomed. Thanks so much for watching and for commenting donnaflorida56.
As a Dominican American, this documentary makes me proud. I never had the chance to meet my grandparents so this makes me smile. All the wisdom & love Juana & Cande have is truly priceless. What they have is better than any currency or gold!
I'm from the other side of the island. I remember growing up the same way. Once Grandpa started talking about Trujillo. It broke my heart. Because you can see the pain and agony on his face. 😥😥😥
Wow, what a story and excellent depiction, of life most Caribbean ppl have and are experiencing no matter the language, culture and race.
What a beautiful life despite despite not having much materially and financially. Their richness is their family,friends and the land. Many dream to go abroad to foreign countries however the glitz and glamour comes with a hefty price of loosing self, dignity and I dare say humanity. Juana recognizes what matters most and is contented with her few but many blessings. God bless her and her entire family and thank them for sharing 🙏🏽💖☮️🌍
I love being Dominican i cry watching this documentary, this made me so happy RIP Cande
Thanks so much for your words and I'm so thankful to have been able to spend time in the Dominican Republic with this family. I spoke on the phone to Joan and Juana yesterday and they are doing well.
What a beautiful story. What a legacy!
My people our beautiful 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴💪🏽💪🏽love my island 🏝 dpl💚🍍
Thanks so much for watching the documentary on Cande y Juana Ernesto! Saludos.
God bless all the family, the Dominican people are truly amazing resilient, hard working. I’ve visited the country as an English tourist for many years, in fact I’m visiting again later this year, again truly beautiful country and people, god bless.
Reminds me of my Grandmother, My father is a great man due to his Roots. I'm greatfilull for experiencing this side of my History & the Memories that were imprinted by them. My father came from a similar place in Samana & my Mother from la Capital/Santo Domingo.
Beautiful family with such a wonderful story...Senor Cande RIP and thank you for sharing your family with us.

EXCELENTE DOCUMENTAL. HACE HONOR A SU TÍTULO. CREO QUE ES EL MEJOR DOCUMENTAL DE LOS ÚLTIMOS DIEZ AÑOS.
Wow! Muchisimas gracias Carlos por su comentario y linda palabras. Fue un honor a hacer el documental con este familia y todavia estoy en contacto con ellos.
@@storydoc2115 Hermano, qué bueno. Tu tienes mucha visión. Tienes que seguir hacia delante, y sobre todo, continuar con este tipo de proyectos, que valen muchísimo la pena. Además, de que son bien atesorados.
This is beautiful, I’m so proud to be Dominican🐐
OMG! I m so sorry for your loss!! I know not who this man was, but he touched my soul for some reason. I am very much saddened. It's like I lost a very dear family member.
The Family history was beautiful and how people lived. Amazing having 15 children all alive men with extended families 💞🤗🌹🥂
Thanks so much Myra for watching the film and for your kind words. They are a beautiful family and I'm so thankful to know them.
absolutely beautiful! THANK YOU !
Thanks so much for your kind words!
I watched the documentary . I'm from Puerto plata . My family used to own almost all the land where la loma isabel de Torres (cable car ) is located . Santana , martinez , mercado, and medrano. I remember I grew up in a country where electricity was not available, not running water and we have to walk to get to the city for almost 2 hours . That's my childhood memories . My grandma used to take me to pick up the coffee around 5am in the morning so we can hike to the top of the hill . It was very cool and too far . Imagine in my time I was behind Mr candé. He had electricity and we didn't. The main row was right there and we didn't had music .
Beautiful family and a real representation of my people .
To find that much happiness in extreme poverty tell us that may have been searching for the wrong thing. It is not what we own that make us happy, although many of us think it is. It is the love of family and whatever we do for our descendants that will us all very happy.
A moving documentary, thank you for sharing
Thank you so much Gilbertc55 5. I really appreciate you watching and your kind words on the doc.

This is near Monte Plata
What a beautiful love story even in hard times. Jesus may Cande spirit rest in your heavenly Kingdom. I pray his wife and family is doing well any update?

@@storydoc2115 I rarely smile these days. Our world

Mi republica que sea desordenado ya no es igual alos 1990
Wish people living conditions to be better I ❤ love DR and I love ❤ the USAmy adopted home

Afro-Latinos
Absolutely beautiful people
Inside n out
I needed to see this. I've been here for 3 weeks and am looking for a permanent place to settle. I didn't realize I was looking through tourist eyes, which I can't avoid really, but this is the real DR. These are the real Dominicans. Much respect.
Sr. Bartolo has taken my friend and I under his wing, watchful eye - at our guesthouse. He gave me a rosary before we went down the coastline. This makes me understand that gesture, and him, so much more.
I'm just humbled.
Beautiful. Reminds me of my grandparents. But we need to tell them kids Jesus is black
I can assure those people aren't worried about skin color. They bear true faith, it is not superficial.
I don't know how anyone could be enslaved and allow themselves to be called dominican by a european explorer, criminal, genocider and not try to reconcile themselves with their original roots! How could anyone respect them when they are opeerating on the wrong narrative and do not show any disdain for that? If you do not explain, the history, the social, political evolution of that country then this story does not nearly tell their story!
What are you even talking about? Can’t we have the pride to our own name? Who was given to us by a priest that fight for taínos liberty? Can’t we have pride of that? Also, are you forgetting that we are not pure blooded taínos, we are combination of Taino and Spanish OUR LANGUAGE BY THE WAY
Wao por supuesto I 😢 Cried ❤
