Ive never felt more seen than at 27:05 . Im trying my damnest to teach my daughters Spanish (while at the same time learning myself) so that they dont have to go through what i am going through now. Everyday is like swimming upstream trying to do this in an english speaking country, with her english-only speaking other half of the family with english speaking movies/etc.. Some days i just want to give up tbh. My parents did with me. But then that would be me giving up on them too. Thank you thank you for this movie. I too will visit the motherland in the future.

Look, I just got back from Southern France & there are parts of Marseille that are pretty seedy 😂 didn't get a chance to go lay on the beach 🎉

The matter of fact is that whiter the place, safer it is in EU. All those migrants bring a ton of trouble so let’s not lie about it just to be woke or politically correct. Besides, you have no problem there because you blend in. You’re ethnically not a target since you’re not East Asian nor blue eyes while person.

On September 7th 1980 I was born in santa tecla. My mother gave mi up for adoption. My biological name is Oscar Armando Sanchez. I was the the hogar adalberto guirola when I was adopted by a couple from Ohio. The people the history what is happening politically en el salvador are extremely important to mi.i have been taking trip back home since 2010. Sometimes staying for three months. I would like to thank you will for you documentary. It took mi home for a brief moment. It is important to never forget where we come from and where we are today. When we can we should always give back to a country and culture that has given us so much. Once again will thank you for a great reminder. Sincerely Andrew Edmondson

Wow dude way to be ungratful to the people who helped you out the mud and blame them for not understanding what seemed to me like clear directions. I think connecting to our roots is important, but this seems disingenuous.

Soy salvadoreña, y me encantó ver este documental, mitad español, y mitad inglés. Vivo en EUA, pero mi país donde nací tiene tantas historias, que me delieto escucharlas y ver esos paisajes tan bonitos. Gracias por el documental!❤❤❤

The lobster roll looks delicious 😋

Relatable. Well produced. My ig showing off my 911 has been deleted. What did it get me? Nothing. What did the 911 get me? Nothing. Find peace somewhere internally.

Great video and sorry for your loss. Like you, my family and I moved to California in the late 70's. Because of work, I returned to El Salvador, approximately 6 years ago and wow! What a great experience. The surf was great, the food was great, everything has changed so much. I'm planning on purchasing property there now and live there at least 6 months out of the year. Anyway, great video again and thanks for sharing.

The TV in bathrooms could be two way mirrors😂😂😂

Que istoria mas bonita saluditos desde sacramento california gracias por compartir cuidese mucho please.

Slow and useless info

I agree with you #MakeItMakeSense. When we started back to the office I was told by my supervisor to avoid getting up from seat to collaborate with ppl, we should really be doing it over teams cause it’s a “waste of time and can be seen as a disturbance” a said “why am I here?” I confirmed with her …so even in the office I am to ask ppl questions over messenger and not face to face? She said “yes” I. Hate. It. Here. 🤡

Keep grinding primo. Super annoying but def super blessed. Next time just tell them I work near Orlando or you guys loose me as an asset 😆I'll take care of you here...then sneakily bring O and baby 😍😝

Always fun to travel, but better having you home with your family ❤

Will Ramirez, This is awesome! I subscribed because I want to see more!

I just came back from Marseille 2 days ago & I speak French even though it’s kinda of broken but everyone was super friendly to me I was out until 4 am… I made friends with some Francophones & I was walking around and cycling whilst wearing my jewellery no one seemed phased …. It can’t be any worse than some areas of London in my opinion. I would speak French more at night to blend in and not stand out. I can tell it’s a lovely city that has two sides. Nothing that a bit of street smarts can’t take care of. I would love to visit again it’s definitely got some rough edges but it has style for sure 👌🏾🇫🇷

The French city of 'Marseille,' sung by Australian rock band, 'The Angels.'

I love this video. Makes me think of the conversations I use to have with my Grandpa talking about his life and his cow and how he would take his cow to pasture and work the “Milpas”. Stories from my dad how he use to work as a kid and couldn’t finish school but still taught himself to read. We come from humble beginnings and we need to pass these stories on to the generations that come after us so they understand their roots and where they came from.

This was an absolute beautiful video very touching life for us a one more salvadorean and migrated to the usa. And also any who left their country. And learning our culture as well finding our roots

By European standards Marseille and the northern suburbs of Paris are the crime capitals of France. This being said, it's still certainly safer than many cities in the world.

Very good presentation. Thank you.

ok you posted this in december was it really that hot in december?

my condolences to you and your family on your abuelo's passing. im currently in el salvador on a work trip (first visit) and cannot wait to tell my friends about my time here. the people are some kindest people i've met, there seems to be more hope now than before given how safe the country is with so many of the gangsters behind bars. whenever el salvador comes up in conversation i always think fondly and spread the awareness of how beautiful this land is.

ALLEZ Paris fan from United States nice vidoe

Estos videos así me hacen llorar siempre! 🥹

Gracias a Dios y el presidente Bukele El Salvador hoy es otro y será próspero un país pequeñito, pero con mucho amor para dar a todos los que nos visiten ; somos amables , alegres , serviciales .

One of the best documentaries I've ever seen. Gracias!

Just like you there is many of us!!

Somos un pueblo muy subestimados!!! Pero pronto vamos a ser grandes.

Excelente documental man!

I am so proud of you, and in a good way a little jelous cause you were able to have a conversation with your grandfather. Nothing like to be proud of your roots and know your history. I my salvadoream people, specially the ones who had personal progress, and are willing give back to our country so they can develop them self too. Your video, in some point make me cry, I love it!. I WISH YOU THE BEST!

Saluditos y abrazos will Ramirez y q bonita su historia casi todos tenemos la misma historia ❤❤

Excelente video. Felicito al autor y la producción.

I almost teared up because I grew up in the Northeast the US and it brought me memories of my The old-timers in my family from Puerto Rico. That's why I learned more about the true culture I lived down there 3 years

No estás solo hermano. Estoy llorando contigo. Mis padres me enviaron a estudiar en USA 1/4/80. He estado fuera de mi país por 44 años. Mi vida está aquí en WIsconsin, un pedazo de mi corazón siempre estará en El Salvador ❤😢

Mis felicitaciones!! Lamentablemente no se encuentran (o a lo mejor yo no los he encontrado) vídeos tan constructivos y hermosos como este, me identifique con tus emociones y con tu nostalgia sin alardes de chovinismos de prensa barata. Un corto pero lindo documental de los infortunios de la migración. Gracias Will

About 28, years after i left El Salvador, since 1995 i was in Shulton, Usulutan, i couldn't believe how everything was changed, not just the political environment, i mean the country, our lands where we grew up everything was desappear, our chocitas no more, the train rail no more, many different trees, many people emigrate, just few parents relatives, and friends still living there, but everything change, ...a radical change,

Great video! I’m kinda of late to the party, but I had the chance to visit El Salvador at 26 years old. My parents moved to LA late 70s. It absolutely brought closure to a part of me of me that was lost. I go back every year now to visit family!

Nunca tuve un abuelo. Escuchar la voz del abuelo me Dio alegría y se llore Así platicaban los señores amigos de mi papá. Platicaban horas y horas

Nuestro país a sufrido demasiado es tiempo que permitamos que Dios tome el control total mente tiene nuestra gente el derecho de La Paz como todo ser humano y Bukele por supuesto que lo está haciendo

You good bro is definitely the directions I can relate lol I'm from El Salvador too and I know the way people give directions lol

My family also came to California because of the war. We are from San Miguel. Los Angeles is filled with so much culture. I love my people.

En busca de la identidad 😢 hoy en día se esta perdiendo la identidad de un país en transición

I am glad you were born outside the country. El Salvador is still a country with major problems. It seems its people can not find the roots of their own problems. It's not the lack of conscience and great stamina to fight against the odds, it's the cast system, division of classes and personal inferiorty complex due to their governments' systems. I hope one day El Salvador wakes up smelling the aroma of the land and sees a bright future in the horizon.😢

Que Dios Siempre Te Bendiga y a Toda tu Familia Will Ramirez. Muy bonito Documental y Mi mas Sentido Pesame por el Fallecimiento de su Abuelito. Que Dios lo Tenga en du Gloria y Que en Paz descanse ! Muy orgulloso de Usted Amigo por el esfuerzo que hizo,de ir a Visitar a su Abuelito cuando todabia estaba vivo. Yo soy Salvadoren~o Primero y Segundo soy Ciudadano Americano.
