they may be poor but they have a better life then a middle class family. they don't worry about the silly things in life just the important ones. I can't wait til I move to mexico. it will be awesome.
Destany Anaksanamun my friend, they are rich. I am they, they are me. This is the secret to our culture, the ability to easily see one in another. This part of the consciousness of I, or the collective agreement as a society, is still very much a part of what is left of our humanity. Speaking of course as a part of said society.
Girl ima be moving also. Im 26 now and ima start visiting down there for weeks at a time, then in like 10 yrs ill leave this bitch. Lol see ya there fam...
You must have a great rapport with the people for them to allow you to film so closely. I watched all three parts and felt it was a wonderful representation of the culture as well as the individual personalities. I was truly humbled. Thank you for posting.
This is an awesome 3 vid story. I'm fascinated by the culture. I've live around the world and I have yet to find better, friendlier people and weather than mid to southern Mexico. It's true, they rather deprive themselves from something than inconvenience you. They have their hardships like we all do. But they sure live a more positive life. Friendship is paramount and when you make one it usually lasts a lifetime in Mexico over almost anything. To think that these same people are treated so unfairly and unjustly in the States, today. Many return to Mexico with resentment and it shows in the younger generations. If we could just treat each other the way they do when we are their guests, our world would be just that much more enjoyable. Beautiful series of vids!
beautiful documentary :') I travel to mexico a few times a year and see a lot of the same hospitality from the locals. dorsnt matter what they have they are always willing to share and tell about how life in mexico is. i love it!
Awesome series, thank you so much for posting. I loved every minute of it.

This is a very good series. You do very good work. Great documentary work. I could not stop watching. These are very hard working people. I am fascinated by their lifestyle. They have very little money and material things but seem fulfilled with their daily activities. Simplicity is awesome. I feel guilty having retired at 56.
Karl, thank you, i really enjoy your film . very well done. to see this give's me so much to be thankful for. i am second generation mexican american. aloha and god bless.
Karl. First of all Thank you so much for the wonderful work. This brought me so many great memories. Growing up in ? Mich Mex.....it was like my own story..
Most people find it hard to believe, the same was true in the US until the 1930s/40s. Many rural areas did not have running water and electricity because of the difficulty in getting it to them.
And now some cities in Trumpland have piped running water enriched with lead, arsenic, and other beautiful chemicals coming from the old pipes and oil fracking industry! Great!
Pay attention to what she's doing at 4:20, I only watched upto 5:25, thus far. I asked myself, I wonder how many of the people who have, are, and will watch this, have actually seen this being done. She's making tortillas, corn, and nixtamal.
Beautifully done! Wish there was more time with each person/family. You have a way of filming/moving slowly at the pace of the people. Most would have cut the scenes much shorter, but would have lost much. The people are very rich, just like the people in a tiny mountain village I visited in 1992 on a medical trip to the state of Hildalgo. My perspective on life and possessions drastically changed. Now, I visit Mexico often and many years ago reduced my lifestyle down to the basics. My Mexican "family" is so kind to me and share all that they have. I try to compensate, but get so much more than I receive. I so wanted to give the woman a tortilla press, but perhaps she takes pride in the way she presses them by hand and would be hurt that I am suggesting they are not good enough.
This is a great video series! I'm studying to become a teacher right now, and I am seriously considering using these in my classes someday. Thanks for posting this.
Karl Knapp this is awesome, I am not Mexican but I love them, hospitality everywhere, man if you are not in the seventh art (Cinema)you are a born genius with unlimited potential!
Wow, what an amazing mini doc! Wish there was more, but this is amazing! I dont want to see cabo or the resort areas. I want to see the real Mexico. Great job!
This was a WONDERFUL documentary! I highly respect the Mexican people and their culture. They value FAMILY and they work so hard. I'm sure that their life expectancy is much higher than in the U.S. Americans could learn some lessons from the Mexicans. That food looked good, too....so fresh and nutritious! Thanks for posting.
God bless these people for hard work with little to show for it after years and years. I enjoyed your series on the people in Mexico. Another reason why I say when people complain and complain of how bad life is in America but have no idea what they have to be grateful for. A spoiled society indeed....
"I realized they'd be the last generation in ______ Guerrero to be able to remember a time when water had to be fetched from the river and when the only light at night was from a candle" Brilliant!
I am a self employed contractor in New York state, I would trade my life to a similar life of these people. $50K cars or more, $250K for a modest home, $15K in property tax per year. Grocery store junk food with preservatives and the stress of corporate America. I can't wait to move to Mexico.
this is my dream life, simple and happy:) it looks delicious! how I love and miss mexico soಥ_ಥ . if I knew then what I know now I would have stayed. ty ! excellent video:) keep in strong faith and fight a good fight! GB:)
awesome series.. the quality of meat in the ranches is top notch.. reminds me of when i visited family in Michoacan... we grilled the freshest meat ive ever ate.. the beef was soooooo tasty.. it was so fresh and out of the norm of the meat im used to in the USA that i ended up getting stomch cramps from not being used to meat that fresh... but best beleive the next day we grilled up some more and luckily my body was acclimated :)
Just as nice as the last one I watched. It makes me appreciate all the luxurys we as Americans enjoy. That is unless you are one of the millions of homeless. It makes me wonder how much of a problem homelessness and hunger is south of the boarder down Mexico way.
When I was young I was also taught that this is poor, but decades later I have learned that living a simple life is not poor. Living peacefully with family, surrounded by love is a full life!
Don't worry about the cat! It's plenty of birds and mices and other small animals he can caugh for meals! And the same for the dog. I was born and grown in a very poor Mexican farm, an I can assure you that the cats and dogs there are way more free and happy than any lazy and fat cat and dog in gringoland.
This is just about the way it was during and especially before my time growing up in Mississippi. The term Ho-cake was used for a homemade pancake made from water, flour, baking soda, in Mississippi. That same term pronounced the same way is used today for pancake in Spanish, amongst many.
Eugene Allison 10-4 Well Ho-Cakes are still alive and well here in Mexico. Really they are made about the same way as real Mexican Tortillas. Taste pretty close to the same. If you’re hungry enough, you’ll put syrup or anything on them and eat them. Some Mexicans now days still drink sugar water. Very old fashioned. 😔
Great videos Knappers! I watched all 3. Well done! Enjoyed the music at the end of #3. I don't remember hearing it in #1 & #2. I'll watch them again and listen more carefully. You should watch YT video on making your own steady-cam device for $10. It's easy, just a pipe with a weight on the bottom. and your cam on top. Would give your videos an extra polish. Steve in Missouri, USA
^_^ it's a good way to live, it's calm an peaceful, an fresh tortillas like my grandamom makes when I got back home, this vid makes me miss my grandparent, thanks for the great video

Karl, What items would be helpful for such a Mexican family? I am learning Spanish so that I may migrate there. I would like to have really appropriate gifts to help them out. I love Mexico.
All the food, prepared in every kitchen, made me hungry. Good eats says the spoon. For you white Americans, longing for a better time; mark my words - Mexico and the Mexican people will save America one day.
Naci y creci en un rancho pobre en Mexico. Y le puedo asegurar que los perros y los gatos pueden arreglarselas solos atrapando animales silvestres como pajaros, ratones, topos, tlacuaches, armadillos, etc. y que sus vidas son mas utiles, libres, felices y plenas, que cualquier inutil mascota neurotica y obesa prisionera en un departamento o casa o abandonada en las calles de una area urbana!
Last time I was in southern Mexico farmers were so worry about Monsanto destroying their corn crops and being forced to pay royalties to buy seeds. I hope they were able to kick them out but without government help it is almost imposible to fight this transnational corporation.
The happiest people don't have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything.
Love the way the lady made her tortillas.
they may be poor but they have a better life then a middle class family. they don't worry about the silly things in life just the important ones. I can't wait til I move to mexico. it will be awesome.

No phone, no car, no running water, no grocery stores, no basic amenities youve grown accustomed to, do you think youre ready for that?
The less you have, the more giving any humble you are. Good people. God bless them all
Tremendous respect for the Mexican people
You must have a great rapport with the people for them to allow you to film so closely. I watched all three parts and felt it was a wonderful representation of the culture as well as the individual personalities. I was truly humbled. Thank you for posting.
my beautiful country hard working people. friendly and good cookers all natural food made from scrash. love this film thank you
Bianca Monarrez You probably don't even live there.

As a mexican feel proud of my people but shame in our government
We Americans understand.
One can't blame you for how you feel about your government.

Me too and I'm gringo.
Congratuilations for this documental, remembers me my childhood. I love the living of the Pueblos of México! Regards!

Thanks so much.
I would pay anything for a plate of that food and the cacao drink
6:20 - Nice 'atole' drink with fresh tortillas.
Thank you for doing this...
America is heading in this direction.
get me wireless, and a fan, and id move in.
What about a McDonald's or a Burger king and a Starbucks?
Awesome !
These people have a bond that most Americans don’t have in there families
Gente adorable
not fair. this is too short. i want more. this is way better than net geo. beautiful music
Karl, What items would be helpful for such a Mexican family? I am learning Spanish so that I may migrate there. I would like to have really appropriate gifts to help them out. I love Mexico.
This is pretty cool. Reminds me a lot of Kenya, tbh.
Wow, natural life is better!
nice I wish I was there
Max Herrera What's stopping you?
Nice :)
Thats was muy bueno amigo make more videos
I was moved by this.
All the food, prepared in every kitchen, made me hungry. Good eats says the spoon. For you white Americans, longing for a better time; mark my words - Mexico and the Mexican people will save America one day.

nice
Me da tanta lástima los animales bien flaquitos allá en los ranchos les enseñan que ellos no sienten dolor 😢 pobresitos amo a los 🐈 🐕 🐤

Current AMLO government has banned transgenics in México!
Wonderful kind people
I love mexican food
Estos si son verdaderos documentales, es de admirar que un estadounidense haga videos de esta calidad, no cómo esa bazofia de Luisito Comunica.
Seeing this makes me realize how much money I waste on stupid things I don't need .
