Faroe - Documentary

A documentary looking at the ways in which Asian immigrants to the Faroe Islands have been represented in international media.

[@marlojustine]

At 10:48 when they started singing, I was just smiling the whole time hearing them.

[@onewish6944]

I love learning about these islands, thank you for the information!

Don't care if I'm 3yrs too late; that opening joke was funny!

[@larryariscon6383]

Very impressive how the Faroese were good in English and technologically ahead particularly in infrastracture. The landscape is really awesome and a Christian country. I would love to visit the place having a very warm welcoming . It's pretty like the Northern part of Canada...very Beautiful!

[@liborkrupica5686]

Wow , what a wonderful place ....

[@farmerbadiday3377]

Wow such a beautiful place, really interesting. Takk fyri

[@EricLimlerikvii]

I'm from Thailand, never known that there are many Thais living in the Faroe island. Actually, the first time I ever heard of the island was yesterday. I don't think the island would be taken over by us(South east asians) or something. They just fall in love with each other, that's all. She seems nice and integrated very well into the whole new environment. Faroe island is such a beautiful country, and I would like to visit once in a life time. Thank you for the great documentary.

All good.

[@francisosorio7995]

[@FreyrNordisk]

The whole controversy of these intermarriages is because some think these Asian women will actually change the Nordic and Celtic DNA of the Faroe Islands, Nordic people are often considered to be La Crème de la crème of the European ethnicities.

[@coleallan8540]

If their is a lack of men in the Faroes, I would happily live there in the capital.

[@aerosgutierrez8020]

hahhahahaha

[@HeriEystberg]

There's not a lack of men; there's a lack of men who are willing to put the time and effort into making a relationship work. They're hard working, but have never been taught how to act around women. They are very quiet and laid back, which won't win over any women. A lot of them just want a woman who will treat them the same way their mother treated them, ie. coock food, wash their clothes etc, so not at all romantic!

[@drdal]

@@HeriEystberg The main problem in Faroes is because there is a big shortage of native women because they move to other countries like Denmark and Norway. The shortage of local women in outlying places in Scandinavia is actually a tragedy. And it is actually not easy to bring home a southeast asian wife and hops she will love you as you am.. And why are you so negative about hardworking scandinavian men? My asian wife love me for that, but I was perhaps lucky? Because I am shy against women.

[@Lemonz1989]

@@HeriEystberg True with the mentality of especially older men, but there are also a lot more men than women on the islands as a whole. I think there are around 2000 more men than women.

[@JohnS916]

Beautiful place in it's own way, if you are into nothingness. I would get rock fever within a year and want off. I live two hours from the beaches and 1 hour from the ski slopes and a couple hours to the deserts. Variety is the spice of life.

[@majbrittpauladottir1519]

So how come you’re sitting there moping over videos from our “nothingness” if you’re so busy with this “spice of life” of yours??

[@TheLassenman]

But the problem is that you just can't go there and settle down...I work with people from Faroe people, and that is what they tell me...And then i tell them that Faroe Islands use to belong to Norway (my own country) a long time ago. Damark stole them from us :P :)

[@Lemonz1989]

What do you mean you can’t go there and settle down? It was actually the UK and some countries that gave Iceland, Greenland and Faroe Islands to Denmark after the Napoleonic wars. Denmark didn’t even ask for them. :P

[@AxelMattias]

This is actually a good thing. I've realized that the more homogeneus the country is, the more racist/disrespectful the people are about other people and we shouldn't really blame them. Cause when people see some other race coming to their country, of course their gonna be careful, cause they dont want them to dominate the island or whatever. There's a reason why we have a prejudice mind about different things.

[@infinit128]

This is the problem of modern day society in a modern world .From the pre historic days people were wandered all over the world without any prejudice.Now more we are modern more we become intolerant to others who looks ,thinks and believe different etc.,etc.

[@deeptracy23]

They should have just let the women respond in the language they're most comfortable with. Because them speaking English is just painful to listen to.

[@eileenwu5049]

This is a better documentary. Better than the first one I watched, I think it's the al Jazeera one, the woman saying that Asian's (particularly Filipinos) coming from afar go to that place to find something they yearned for. Finding love they (Asians going to Faroe) have to take risk. She exaggerated the documentary too much.

[@mememe1649]

Faroese are, after the Philippines, the nation, per capita, that works the most abroad. The Faroese people are an ocean people and have a long tradition of working in the ocean industry world wide and many Faroese find their partners while working abroad Pinoys traditionally focus a lot on family and the same goes for the Faroese where family means everything

[@filsbeni9047]

I guess,, the reason why western mainstream media makes this an issue is because of pride. That racist mentality, you know. You don't hear stories about Faroese men marrying westerners. But you do when it's a Filipina. Why is that? The question here I guess should be; why Filipinos? It's quite normal for any country to "import" partners whenever it becomes necessary. But Faroese men choosing mostly Filipinas.... There must be a very good reason for that. Maybe the same reason why almost a quarter of the world's nurses and seafarers are Filipinos? Much like fruits, you don't import rotten apples or oranges. You always choose the best quality and longer lasting. And that, I guess, is what other people can't accept. Yeah, I see this as a racism issue, and Faroese men who have real pure good intentions are now being put into situations they don't deserve. Simply because some people chooses to become ignoramus instead of geniuses.

[@mememe1649]

I happen to know some Faroese via my work and from what I have heard a big portion of the Pinoys that end up in the Faroe Islands are actually well educated, some even have Prof. Degrees. Some maybe have a short education, but the majority seem well educated So claim the Faroese to be native makes little sense. They are among the best educated societies, well travelled and not other country in the world, except Philippines, has as high percentage of its population working abroad. The Faroese are a ocean nation, used to world all over the world in ocean related industry, and many of them have meet their Pinoy partner while working abroad.
