My Grandmother was Gibraltarian, I am proud of being of Gibraltarian descent. Part of my family are still in Gib. The Talented Aaron Monteverde is part of my family, and I visit as much as I can. I would love to retire there to be where my family grew up. Long live Gibratlar. Brilliant piece of work. 💌 Edit::: Congratulations on your wedding.. May it be fruitful and long may it last xxx

Thank you for your well documentation of Gibraltar. in 1969 I had the honour of being part of the problem between Spain and Gibraltar having serve with the British armed forces and was one of the first infantry troops to land after the gates were closed. I also was still there in 1970 and on April the 24th I married my sweetheart at the registry office also today we celibate our 49th wedding anniversary.. thank Gibraltar !!!

So hard not to fall in love with Gibraltar, the people, the history and of course the geography.

I stand with the Gibraltarians.... British forever. Spent an idyllic two years there 1974-76, when my father was in the RAF. I must admit, most of that time was on Eastern Beach lol. Remember the closed border well.

Rock on Gibraltar! I lived at North Front for three years serving the Rock and Britain in the late 1980s. A wonderful people, the Gibraltarians. Most Spanish were great too, and the Moroccans. Such a shame that politically Spain can't tolerate the independence of their Gibraltarians neighbours, as Spain expects North Africa to tolerate its own African enclaves. A pity Britain can't push a firmer line with Madrid over border issues too. I really enjoyed this documentary, made the history and emotion so very personal.

This is an amazing video! What a great production. And total joy watching it. Thank you

As a Brit I can tell you that the UK will never desert or give up Gibraltar unless the people there say otherwise. Personally, I love Spain but the Spanish need to remember that in 1982 the Royal Navy sailed 9,000 miles to the south Atlantic to oust the Argentinian military from the Falklands Islands after the Falkland Islanders said they wish to remain British and not become Argentinian citizens. The islanders held a recent referendum where 99.9% of them voted to remain British. The Spanish are also being somewhat hypocritical when you consider Ceuta and Malilla which are both attached to Morocco, not to mention the small Spanish controlled island located just 250 metres off Morocco's coast. As for that treacherous, corrupt Tony Blair, he's the worst Prime Minister the UK has ever had and he's definitely the most hated politician in the UK today.

"Spain isn't Argentina", yes but neither is Britain, Morocco. Spain can mess with the Moroccans and bully them but with Britain's fighting force three times larger than Spain's, Spain would be making a big mistake picking a fight with the UK as it may end up losing the whole of Andalucia and not just Gibraltar. In 1588 Spain tried to invade England and look what happened - the Spanish empire ended. Spain hypocrisy is shameless when you think about all the territory it's taken from Morocco.

Ed Shed Britain has only existed since 1707. Perhaps you are the typical little Englander that thinks the world is your oyster and confuses Britain with England. Ceuta and Melilla have been Spanish before than Britain has existed (1497 and 1668). The "moors" was an Umayan Caliphate invasion (Arab and Berber) of the Iberian peninsula although they didn't conquer the Christian Kingdoms in the north, eventually kicking them out many centuries later , just like we will do too with the British travesty colony of Gibraltar (one way or another). We don't even need to lift our arms (please save your £ to keep your fragmented union together). Gibraltar it is an unnatural colony far away from mainland Britain, only interests it to those greedy types who can dodge taxes and get things at the expense of Britain, take that away and they'll get the hell out of it ( a false sense of patriotism) Nobody is bullying Morocco, these enclaves have been Spanish longer than the modern kingdom of Morocco has existed , these places were consequences as a deterrent for attempts of further invasions and continuous pirate attacks that Spain suffered for centuries. Did the Spanish empire finish in 1588?I don't think so. Perhaps you may not know or don't want to know that Britain tried to invade the Spanish Caribbean (War of Jenkins Ear) but ended up with their tail between the legs and with heavier losses than the Spanish suffered with the "invincible armada".

Spent 2 years on this beautiful rock from 1999-2001, worked in the Horse Shoe bar on Main Street and loved every minute of it, What I would give to go back and live there again ♥

What a lovely place and the people are a unique blend of culture , UK ,Spanish Bond

As a Puerto Rican-American, I have to say, their story is somewhat similar to Puerto Ricans. Ademas, el hecho de que hablan llenito, me siento un conexion con ellos.

Excellent documentary. Although I am not technically Gibraltarian, my mother and my family all come from and live on the Rock. I was there the day they reopened the frontier, I remember it well even though I was a small boy at the time and didn't quite grasp the gravitas of what was happening. I have been a frequent visitor over the last 46 years and feel a very strong affiliation with the Rock.. I feel very proud of the Gibraltarian people and my own family who struggled throughout Francos rule. I have just come back from a fantastic holiday there with my wife and kids, its changed a lot over the last 2 decades, but hasn't lost it's majestic charm.. I hope to retire there one day and officially make the rock my home 😊🇬🇮

I from Spain but I can't understand some typical comments that are making some Spaniards about the people who live on the rock, because the people who live there have an english feeling, so you can't make anything if they want still belonging to the UK. Sorry for my English guys because I know that isn't perfect but I'm improving

The Spanish attitude to Gibraltar is hypocritical. There are Spanish colonies in Morocco (Ceuta and Melilla, and several islands), which Spain has no intention of giving up. The attitude seems to be that because Gibraltar is in Europe, it is unacceptable as a "colony", whereas colonies in Africa are still OK.

It has everything to do with the case of Gibraltar. The fact that you can't see that the cases of Ceuta and Melilla are comparable to Gibraltar, just shows your double standards. And your distorted view of "history". The Spanish view seems to be that it's quite alright for Europeans to have colonies in Africa, but not OK for any country to have colonies in Europe.But the real issue is the matter of self-determination. If the people of Ceuta and Melilla want to remain Spanish, they should be allowed to. The Gibraltarians have consistently voted to remain British. They too should be allowed their wish.

+Rafa Velez. Arguments from history, which are often disputed, are irrelevant to the present situation. The real question is what the peoples of Gibraltar, Ceuta, Melilla etc. want. If the Ceutans and Melillans want to be Spanish, that's what they ought to be. If Gibraltarians want to be British, that's what they ought to be.I am not a English/British nationalist. I find all narrow nationalisms, including British or Spanish nationalism, irritating, and potentially dangerous. I find that there's little point in discussing matters such as this with nationalists, as they are not able to see beyond their own narrow-minded blinkered viewpoint.There are such nationalists in all countries. But some countries manage to rise above petty nationalism. Why does Canada not go on about St.Pierre and Miquelon? Why does France not continually complain about Jersey and Guernsey? Why does Sweden not get annoyed by Bornholm and the Aland Islands? Because they are, advanced, sophisticated nations.On the other hand, the attitude of Spain to Gibraltar, or of, for example, Argentina on the Falklands (Malvinas), shows an attitude more typical of less advanced "developing" nations. Such as, for example, the attitude of China to Taiwan, or India to Kashmir.

Well, this documentary gives me the impression that Spain's antagonism over the Gibraltarian's Britishness just made them double down. Seriously, you wouldn't get anywhere near that kinda consensus, even in England, on remaining in the UK. Personally I think a people should be allowed to determine their own sovereignty. So, if Gibraltar want to be British, Spanish or independent, they should get that. And if Scotland wants to be independent, same thing. And if Catalonia wants independence, just the same once again.

They weren't taken from Morocco, as Gibraltar was. But in principle, as a Spaniard, I'm not opposed to giving Ceuta and Melilla back to Morocco.

The only way to deal with the remaining parts of both Spain and Britain's once vast empires is to hold these referendums and be entirely guided by there outcomes and the will of the people that live there now. Gibraltar has twice overwhelming voted to be remain part of Britain and if another poll was held today it would be exactly the same outcome and this should be the end of the matter for the foreseeable future. With that being said, I'm sure that if such a referendum was held in say the Canary Islands, they too would massively want to stay with Spain and that would equally have to be accepted by all concerned. This was a fantastic documentary 👏. I think it's crucial to remember that despite territorial disagreements over Gibraltar aside Spain and Britain are strong and close military allies. Should either Britain or Spain be invaded militarily by a third party they would be fighting alongside and with each other and in full defence of each other to the very end; this should be always be remembered.

If I could move freely (health reasons prevent me) I would move to Gibraltar. More than any other country in the world, it exerts a pull that I can't resist. Maybe in a past life or two I actually lived there?

The south side linked with morocco and wich belongs to his teritory is Gibraltar and Sebta... The north side is Malaga the word wrote in arabic means link...

With the possible BREXIT situation, how is Gilbraltar going to affected? Will belonging to Great Britain still be a greater outcome for this territory?

Perhaps the UK could give The Rock 'back" to Spain when THEY give up their own territory on the coast of Morocco?

Gibraltar forever!

why this thing is not happen in hong kong

professorbacteriano Do you read history or everything that happened in the past is not relevant like Franco? in 1704 Spain sign it over to the UK forever. Unless you buy is from UK you have no claim to it.

@@professorbacteriano That makes zero sense at all. France is a part of Europe and so is Germany. Should France be Germany now? If we start to claim stuff just because it's attached to our own country, most of Europe would have to be one single country.

With all respects and open to dialogue with respect and curiosity. Although i understand the scar Franco made on Gibraltar, I'm at least confused about the nowadays situation and the refusal of a joined soberenity between Spain and UK. Does the people from Gibraltar today feel Spanish? British? Europeans? Non of the above?

I don't have all the facts, they have rejected any form of Spanish rule in 2 referendums, so it is likely any attempt at joint sovereignty would result the same way.

Alex . Watch it again and pay attention.

Such as shame that Spain has learnt nothing of the past. Not even the recent past.

I sympathize with the people of Gibraltar. This documentary does make an argument for imperialism. I think the situation is very unique. Remember when Rhodesia gained its independence and an indigenous African government was returned to power. A lot of land that was taken from native black Africans and given to European (English) settlers. With Rhodesia's independence the land seized from indigenous black Africans were to be returned to their original African owners. The newly settled European farmers objected to this and wanted to remain a part of the British Empire. This is the problem. The indigenous black Africans were driven off the land they had been farming for countless generations, and now the land was to be returned to the original black African farmers. The new English farming settlers wanted to remain within the British Empire and not have "their country" returned to an indigenous government? Were the original Spanish Gibraltar people driven away? Are the people living in Gibraltar during the 20th century brought in by the British Imperial government after the amphibious invasion of 1704? If so wouldn't they be bias to staying with Great Britain. I am not saying Franco's claim is right. We all know that when it comes to colonialism and slavery the Spaniards wrote book. The Spanish (after Franco's death and reestablishment of the Spanish Republic) still have two land territories in Morocco (North Africa) and several islands off the coast of Northwest Africa. Let's face it the Spanish refuse to give these colonial territories their independence or return them to their "rightful" African government. Do the Spanish have the right to hang onto these territories? Were they not seized by conquest? Is that not imperialism? The problem is imperialism. If you use violence to seize someone else's land how can you justify seizing land, and claim it rightfully yours. Great Britain still has the second most powerful navy in the world. When Argentina seized control of the Atlantic Islands off of their coast Great Britain sent her powerful navy and destroyed a third rate South American military force and recaptured the Falklands. There are many other territories under Great Britain's control or protection. Northern Ireland and Gibraltar are just two. The Ulster Unionists and Gibraltarians want Great Britain to fight off "foreign invaders." The British Monarchy seized Northern Ireland in the 1600s and Gibraltar in the 1700s. Compared to England Ireland and Spain are third rate military powers who cannot challenge England. England has 2 modern aircraft carriers that it can be deployed to protect her territories. Spain and Ireland will not try to claim their Gibraltar or Northern Ireland, especially when those 2 aircraft carriers fly "made in the US" F-35 fighter-bombers. "Made in the US" figher-bombers have enable Israel to exist for over 70 years.

You have the same rights as we have in Gib, love your country and don't listen to any other fucker even the fucked up UN. We don't in Gib lolol

What does it mean to be Gibraltarian? The question of national identity seems to trigger different answers from different generations who lives on the Rock. Does it mean your Place of Birth? Does it mean who your parents are, or the language you speak at home? And if those are a mixture of two or more? Then how do you define yourself?

I enjoyed this film.. I have spent time in Gibraltar and I do appreciate the hospitality, kindness, zest and love of it's people. One thing I found strange was the lack of any corresponding connection with other people under siege.. this was particularly apparent to me when Israel was not only blocking borders but bombing and killing Palestinians in appalling numbers... all the Gibraltarians I new with a few honourable exceptions seemed to have no problem with this and I still find this strange and curious.

....and they weren't even jews... who are often brought up to be hyper pro-Israel.. I don't blame them it's just how things are... but the lack of sympathy from some quarters i met personally i found a bit shocking... banging on about the siege but if i said what about this happening now... one reason i'm through with talking about politics generally is people are so ridiculous.. which is also why i love people so it works both ways...
