I really enjoyed the video, it brought back memories of my childhood it also allowed me to show my non-Guatemalan friends and those who like me no longer live in Guatemala to learn and experience some of the traditions of our Guatemala. Thank you so much.

This was such a Blessing to my 2 Guatemala-born sons! Experiencing the tradition, even by video, enriched us all. Thank you for this beautiful video.

Wow, I had no idea how much work the tamales take, specially in Guatemala. Very lovely indeed.

Beautiful video... I loved the community-involvement, the spiritual, the way that everyone had a role ... and the tamales looked delicious!
