you can really picture the story in your mind and heart!...So deep and very true of our chamoru history!Love this video and the person who made it!...thank you!
@hurao73 Is guam asian? We are pacific islanders. Not asian. Why do people think they are the same. The way of thinking and way of being is very different between asians & pacific islanders. Our cultures evolved out of extreme isolation & a way of thinking very unique to the islanders resulted because of that isolation. Also, guam's hispanic history gives us a latino/hispanic part of our identity as well. So i think this film should be accepted at a latino film festival too. more so than asian.
GUAM IS CRYING " selected for Visual Communications' Film Fest highlight series, "Best of the Fest '09" -- "Global Groove", is set for Saturday, July 25, 2009, at the David Henry Hwang Theatre, 120 Judge John Aiso Street, just upstairs from our offices in Los Angeles Little Tokyo. Hope to see you there - All Duendes are welcome.
I am not Chamorro, but, I was born and raised on Guam. My ancestors went through the same struggles and that is why I felt what you had to say. Five stars.
Fuck this stupid ass video. Guam is crying cuz this movie exists.....

A Chamorro version is being recorded next month on GUAM - it will replace the current voice over..
I saw this the other night at the BEST OF LAAPFF in Los Angeles- it got a huge applause.

Excellent visual poetry. But why does the narrator sound African-American, rather than Chamoru?
