[1elgalle1]

[STNEIDERIN]

JoyA

[Gartzens]

Inhabitants... could be but goverment... remember Ireland

No spanish no frech Basque people are the best!

GORA EUZKADI!!

[antippasti]

Idilic footage... however Orson Welles never stayed in the Basque Country during his years in Spain, he rather bought himself an old house in Castile (Ávila)

[belisariusorb]

Basques and Catalans will achieve independence in this generation, believe me.

Spain will be welcome to remain Spain and enjoy its own culture and limited politics.

[hoselui]

@belisariusorb how?

[belisariusorb]

@hoselui in 2 words, people power - people will demand to be released from the Spanish corpse, I mean state, and in time will be permitted to do so.

You can't keep millions of people prisoner forever

[newhuskytwenty]

@belisariusorb That's a stupid comment, I'm Basque and Spanish 100%, we are totally free, but we want to get rid os a marxist didctature, That's whay independentist people want to build, a dictature

[belisariusorb]

@newhuskytwenty I'm Catalan and 0% Spanish. We are not free, our laws and statutes can be cancelled by politically motivated judges in Madrid. Freedom will come when we control our own destiny, separated from Spain with a democracy within the EU. That's not a dictatorship, it's considered quite normal in other parts of the world.

[belisariusorb]

@newhuskytwenty Looking at your profile I see you're a xenophobe and a facha - that explains your comment, españolito.

[Magunagoikoetxea]

@newhuskytwenty You are fuckin´idiot, lier, and spanish "100%",

[newhuskytwenty]

@Magunagoikoetxea y tu madre una puta zorra sifilítica, pedazo de subnormal patético

[CrazyNative4]

they are their own group!

[FACTUNTHJU]

i could cry at the loss of old cultures like this

its poetry

[kakaze]

awesome documentary anyway, totally a lost world. I love this era

[kakaze]

a bit odd they'd be so blatant about the illegal events; i wonder what became of these people? franco's lot surely got hold of a copy....

[antoniodcz]

Wow, absolutely fascinating, what year what this made?

[pinescar]

Orson era vasco

[saturdayboy]

Orson Welles makes a few wrong statements in this documentary imo. He crearly points out the nationalist sight when he claims "basques are not spanish nor french" And "nations expand borders while people prefer to avoid them".

Both are wrong and contradictory. He's talking about something he knows very little about, basque people, nationalism and the history of nations in europe.

[belisariusorb]

@saturdayboy Nothing wrong in anything he suggests - Basques are not Spanish or French

[saturdayboy]

@belisariusorb

That's a naïve-romantic-nationalist point of view. Being spanish is nothing but having the spanish citizenship, what else could it be?

Basques south of the Pyrenees have the spanish citizenship so they are as spanish as they can be. And basques north of the pyrenees are as french as they can be. Wether they prefer to play soka tira instead of rugby is absolutelly irrelevant.

[roncesvalless]

hemingway loves Spain

[oski48v]

Sólo la humanidad de Orson puede retratar tan simplemente, casi sin darnos cuenta, este pueblo maravilloso, luchador y consecuente.

En las imagenes vemos cosas, recuerden el momemto histórico, la gente se ve feliz, sonriente, creo al menos eso.

[eresbienguevon]

Hey I am a basque American and I would deeply apresiate if you can send me this documentary. My father would love to see this. Thank you and God bless you

[CaRnEroRiZaDoooO]

search euskaltzaindia in google

[eatlecithin]

for those into alternative history: its been said that the basques origins are the original atlanteans.

[juicypencil]

Why the original clip can't download anymore?

This documentary is so sweet and interesting, could put to be downloaded again?

[argentiniximo]

is just sad the image that orson welles shows of the basques choosing a village of primitive sheppards as the representation of basques this is absurd he could have talked with UNAMUNO or BAROJA instead but ofcourse these people would have gave him another impression not valide for his comical movie

[robertdegiro]

orson wells didnt know about the origins and history of basques a prove of that is his film.the moment in which this film is been made is after the start of the basque nacionalisme by his father SABINO ARANA if anyone of you wants to know about the basis of the basque nacionalisme just google SABINO ARANA and you will laugh your ass of about the basque racial complex

[robertdegiro]

factunthju you are just a poor piece of english shit.spain dont need assholes like you and its just funny that a fucking english could dare to blame someone of being racist.

[FACTUNTHJU]

i am english and have been to all parts of spain and understand why the basque's want to be separated,i say separated and not independent because i feel the basque's are self sufficient and already and always have been independent and spain is just a selfish,greedy ,racist ignorant country that cant even run a company business properly....i have lived and worked in oviedo,merida and most of catalunya and i can honestly say that spanish are no good for anything and vile racists

[CHEMUZO]

independence for Scotland and Northern Ireland.

England sucks

[antippasti]

@FACTUNTHJU

An Englishman accusing Spaniards of racism? You are a bigot, like many of your countrymen. There are more episodes of racism in any London neighborhood than in the whole of Spain. It is funny your views on "inability" of the Spanish for the business taking into account that Spanish Banks (Santander) are buying English banks (Abbey) or that Spanish companies run Brittish airports. Your such a cunt!

[richiesking]

@antippasti what nonsense..the English are in fact a very tolerant bunch.

[greatnobudgetfilms]

Very cool. I had no idea this was documented by Welles.

[Biscaine]

Orson Wells-ek Euskara ikastea nahi zuela esan zuen.

Zalatzarik gabe euskadunen laguna zen.

bai horixe!

[Criticizin]

Real Basque people, neither French nor Spanish

[quejicus115544]

me encanta este dokumental!!!!

esta lleno de verdades por mucho que molesten!!!!!

[pepys1633]

mr. Welles used to come to the basque country to see the bullfights in Iruna and to get pissed during the San Fermin festivals

[nietsmmar2]

"it's own weird language, huh, man did Americans used to be extremely ignorant"!

[c0y0tx]

when he said weird he meant unique. and Orson Welles was never Ignorant.

[jefe21]

everyone is ignorant

[nietsmmar2]

sorry ;bout that man..

[Jonathan6561]

Welles was brilliant and far from ignorant, but to say someone else "meant" anything is crazy.

[lexingtondiamonds]

Anything not the norm is weird. Stop being so PC you socialist!!!

[nietsmmar2]

Calm down fool.. i ain't no fuckin socialist.

[Jonathan6561]

So by the rule of double negatives, you are a socialist.

[nietsmmar2]

fuck socialists man.. i don't know 'bout u, i sure ain't one^^ p.s, that was 2 yrs ago man, let it go man^^

[bassuan]

Eleak eta beleak banatu.

[oclhie]

Todo genio comete fallos

[oclhie]

Basque Country...jaaja. Torremolinos Country.

[ilargitxo2]

pero que te ries, que tiene q ver torremolinos con el país basco, no te rías q no tiene nada q ver.

[oclhie]

No quiero ofender. He de confesar que me encanta el humor vasco

[ilargitxo2]

pero otra vez, que tiene q ver el humor basco?

[oclhie]

Hombre, estais en serio? Todo esto es muy divertido, nada más. No hay que molestarse. Solo que la traducción es jocosa, no me digas que no. Y ahora me respondes en español escribiendo Vasco con B...es gracioso

[ilargitxo2]

pero q me estás contando? y si he cometido una falta gramatical qué? me gustaría ver como escribes tu todos los días. Y q te ríes tu del país vasco? ahora tu serás de los que dicen que mo existe el país vasco y q españa es una grande y libre.

[oclhie]

Insinuas que soy un franquista? Solo porque no te gusta mi opinión? Es increible, uno se toma estas cosas con humor y mira como te pones. Yo no he dicho que no exista el Pais Vasco, y bien bonito que es. Por cierto, ya que te pones tan serio, no es una falta gramatical, sino ortográfica.

[c0y0tx]

no lo dijo por que crea que eres franquista es solo que hay mucho mucho tipo mala leche y grasoso desde el Imperio español y es dificil saber que estan pensando porque siempre traman cosas. y como son mala leche y grasosos les gusta hacer anuncios elocuentes para ridiculisar cualquier nocion de independencia cultural Vasca.

[sagastizabal]

Astok, asto-ele.

[oclhie]

Burro tú, subnormal, ¿por que vas insultando?

[garithewheat]

@oclhie

PAÍS Vasco, Basque Country, Pais Basque, Baskenland...y suma y sigue. Es su nombre, aunque hay algún acomplejado que otro al que le molesta ver la palabra "país" al lado de "vasco" ;)

pero tranquilo, que sabemos que en el País Torremolinos hay mucho bocazas que habla antes de pensar dos veces. :)

[DJALIPETITA]

this is AMAZING.A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.

THANKSSSSSS

[KentAllard]

This isn't from a documentary he made, its from a single episode of the BBC series "Around the World with Orson Welles"
