My father had to study under a street light to go to college, I appreciate his sacrifice to give us all a better life.

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!!!!

They are rich in family memories and love.

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.

“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.

What a beautiful story. What a legacy!

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 love being Dominican i cry watching this documentary, this made me so happy RIP Cande

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 🙏🏽💖☮️🌍

it took me back to my childhood living with my grandparents 😢😭 I never had the chance to take a photo with none of them 😭😭😭😭😭😭

My people our beautiful 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴💪🏽💪🏽love my island 🏝 dpl💚🍍

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.

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 .

Beautiful family with such a wonderful story...Senor Cande RIP and thank you for sharing your family with us.

Beautiful family

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.

THIS VIDEO TOUCHED THE CORE OF MY SOUL I REALLY LOVED IT

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.

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.

So many Beautiful gems dropped!! I love this heartfelt documentary

EXCELENTE DOCUMENTAL. HACE HONOR A SU TÍTULO. CREO QUE ES EL MEJOR DOCUMENTAL DE LOS ÚLTIMOS DIEZ AÑOS.

The Family history was beautiful and how people lived. Amazing having 15 children all alive men with extended families 💞🤗🌹🥂

Thank you so much for taking the time to post this. It was extremely heartfelt, touching, personable, and real. Made me shed a tear. I plan to save and watch again. Thank you again.

That lil girl talking about coming to NY and wanting her kids to be American is amazing

Amazing culture

Love this. Reminds me some my country family that i love and there simple peacful life. Being from New York , it was a big change but so awesome. Awe, love it. Thus is what i love about the Dominican Republic.❤🇩🇴

This was beautiful thank you so much

That was beautiful

This is beautiful

This is excellent! Thank you!

Wao por supuesto I 😢 Cried ❤

very good! familiy is everything. RIP!

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.

I loved watching this

A moving documentary, thank you for sharing

Dios proteja esa bonita familia ese video me hiso llorar que Dios tenga al señor Candé en la gloria y Dios le de mucha fuerza a su esposa

Que hermosa familia y feliz me gustaría verlos en persona y pasar un día con ellos 😇

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?

God bless them

Where in D.R. was this? One of the guys sounded like they were from Ocoa or Azua

💙💙💙💙💙beautiful family how are they now

Where are these people now? I wonder if they are alive still. 🇩🇴

❤️🇩🇴❤️

Pero Cande tenia el verdadero Saoko!

Mi republica que sea desordenado ya no es igual alos 1990

🤣😂

Afro-Latinos

Beautiful. Reminds me of my grandparents. But we need to tell them kids Jesus is black

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!
