Thank you Mr. Selzman ! I appreciate your comments. I liked your video about the kangoroo & the boy in Australia, and the one of Geronimo.

Felipa is my favorite of your films.

I bet Felipa became a succesful bilingual teacher in Arizona.

Regards & peace!

This video made me cry.... It reminded me of my childhood, being mexican I grew up in chicago when it was forbidden to speak spanish in public schools, now I am a bilingual teacher in Texas, and work with children of latin immigrants, I now live in London with my mexican husband who is a petrochemical engineer, where I teach Modern Foreign Languages ( Spanish!) never underestimate us!!!

Dear Ek Balam

It's okay to post part 2&3 of Felipa North Of The Border on your website as we

don't want to keep the viewers forever in suspense as to what happens in the story.

And thank you for your kind words about Felipa.

Peace ,Bert Salzman, WGA/DGA

Felipa, North of the Border is a film written,directed and produced by Bert Salzman not EK Balam. Bert Salzman also made "Angel and Big Joe which won an Academy Award (Oscar). I would like to communicate with EK Balam and ask why he posted a 1/3 edited version of Felipa North Of The Boreder on his You Tube Channel without getting my permission to edit or post my film. EK Balam please get in touch with me at my You Tube or Internet Archive email address. Peace Bert Salzman
