This made me cry 😢 My family came in this group . They were immigrants from south Korea . Llegaron a Merida Yucatán primero y trabajaban en plantaciones de arroz y de ahí siguieron para Cuba y se establecieron en Cardenas , Matanzas . So I’m half Cuban and half Korean , born and raised in Habana , my last name is Pak and my family last name is Pak Chang .I’m part of the Korean Cuban association in Havana and my aunt was Luisa Pak Chang known for being one of the best Korean translators in Cuba . Also my cousin is Alicia Pak a very well known and talented artist .... Thank you for this video I will share it with all my Korean family back in Cuba . thank you for this instructive video that made me learn a lot about my Korean heritage 💕💕💕

Que lindo y raro ver a alguien mencionar a Cárdenas en las redes 😄💛 Usted puede preguntarle a su familia si ellos conocían a la familia Peña o la familia Armenteros de Cárdenas? I'm going to ask my dad about the Pak Chang family too!

This is awesome! I hope your family are all doing well. It's been so long since the documentary was produced, I can only imagine they're all a lot older now.

Buenesimo documental!....No sabia de los cubanos de origen coreano...Vivo cerca de Korean Town en Los Angeles, California, y me parece bastante interesante escuchar a coreanos hablar con acento cubano, y es porque son cubanos. Very educating documentary! .....

Asians are everywhere in the world, mainly because of their business ventures. They are certainly creative, self sufficient and resourceful folks. If they made it in Cuba, then they can make it anywhere. 🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂Cheers and 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺beers mates!

I’m impressed with the Koreans in Cuba, because their value system is so much different from ours, and they love Cuba. She isn’t saying Cuba is perfect, but she likes the ideals of everybody pitching in for the common good. And she’s had the opportunity to come here and make money, but that doesn’t entice her. I like her attitude.

This was fascinating & incredibly informative.

My family and I knew this sweet generous Korean descendant elderly guy who was friend of my Spañiard Grandfather. He told us such good stories from when he was young and how he's family migrated to Cuba. He recently passed from old age, will will never forget him 🙏🏻❤

The man I call my dad was a Cuban born Korean. His experience is vastly different however, the mindset of making home where people best grow together is the same. Immigrants that show us everywhere, that with a goal set and determination at hand, prosperity can be achieved. Individual strength contributed into the community’s growth. You’re not a product of your environment but your environment is a product of you. Thank you for this video.

Unbelievable story really enjoy it. Thank you for your post ❤️

Good people who are trying to make a difference anywhere they go. I don't care who you are, where you are from. As long 😂 as you love ❤️ me. Wonderful 😊

I will Thank You For This Video.

Very informative. Koreans are intelligent hard working people that value education. Where ever they go they will succeed.

Great story as a Cuban American my parents would tell me stories about the Koran’s in Cuba. Enjoyed this documentary.

No se habla mucho de las comunidades asiaticas en Latin America muchas gracias por compartir

Fascinating

It would have been better for Cuba to copy the South Korean model than the North Korean model

Beautiful documentary. I’m Chinese Cuban living in USA now and didn’t know there was/is a Korean Cuban community.

Great video

I liked when she said: Human Greed... because of human nature and human selfishness, we are all screwed up but still believe in a better ☺️ tomorrow ☺️ only a miracle can save us 😉 but we should never give up. Keep fighting for what is right 👍greed and selfishness are the worst decease/pandemic of humankind.

Martha, thank you for coming to Cuba, but we think differently I have a different opinion than you have. Martha ahora en espanol yo creo en los valores individuales, porque me gusta ser libre no que nadie me este dictando como pensar, pero ud es bienvenida a Cuba la cual es tambien mi pais de nacimiento

He is right he is Cuban. Who cares about where you from. I came to Canada 1988 when I was 21years. Now after 33 years I say I am Canadian . And I reminds my kids You are Canadian . Important thing is where you live not where you from. And I am from Korea.

One World. One Peace.

Can't believe how well these Koreans speak the native Spanish language and how they love the Cuban culture

VIVA CUBA LIBRE......

Desde mi perspectiva: Los cubanos viven mejor, son parte de un proyecto, son parte de un pais que promueve la igualdad, la humanidad y la soberania. Tambien entiendo que hay problemas economicos, pero esos problemas surguen desde afuera: El Bloqueo. ...............

Orlando Romero En cuba no se vive bien para nada. El presidente se coje todo el dinero y las casas estan todas destruidas. Dicen que es igualdad pero no hay ninguna, el pobre se puede morir y no le importa a nadie, la policia es brutal y todo esta malo. Los salarios estan super bajos y el govierno no deja que traigas nada de otros paises a cuba. La verdad es que en cuba la cosa esta peor que en otros lugares

Bravo Orlando, tu has entendido muy bien que el cubano de a pié, aunque se lamenta prefiere el sistema socialista que en Cuba no funcionara nunca para la gente ambiciosa de dinero, de cosas materiales que no son precisamente el centro ni tanto menos, la esencia de la Cuba revolucionaria y socialista. La revolución cubana es humanista y solidaria. Primero y por encima de todo esta el bienestar del hombre y no el capital, este pensamiento socialista y solidario es opuesto al pensamiento Monroista y americano, que quieren aun hoy anexar a Cuba de todas todas de manera " muy solapada" como se han echado en el bolsillo a todos los países latinoamericanos, dejándo a los pobres, mas pobres y a los ricos, cada vez mas ricos. Esta descendiente coreana Marta esta bien clara. Afuera tienes mas oportunidades hasta un cierto punto, si eres de esos que quieres tener una bella casa, tantas cosas materiales pues vete a un país capitalista, ese es tu problema. En Cuba se vive en sintonia con la madre naturaleza, que no depreda ni compete, ni destruye ni aniquila en guerra a su opositor para robarle su riqueza. Aquí en estos países " democráticos" te cuesta la salud, la educación, la asistencia social es poca o nula y lastimosamente muchas personas mueren porque no pueden permitirse un análisis completo de sangre o un screening medico a tiempo para saber como estas, se gasta todo en comida, gasolina, estudios, salidas y cosas superfluas y lo esencial es LA VIDA HUMANA y la convivencia pacifica. He dicho :-)

My French-Cuban grandfather worked for a Swedish company which made sugar mill components in Cuba. We are amazed at these pockets of different ethnicities because communist Cuba is so isolated, but Cuba was a free country before Castro, and had a 1st world economy. The Cuban peso was equal to the American dollar...unheard of in the rest of Latin America or even most of Europe. Socialism destroys. Stay free and capitalist America! Some ethnicities settled in Cuba after the revolution, like those from communist countries; Congo, Mozambique, Nicaragua (at one point), North Korea, Russia, Venezuela, and communist ideology students from all over the world, etc.

When was this documentary done?

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Hubiera sido mejor para Cuba copiar El modelo de Korea del sur y no El modelo de Korea del norte

My parenst are Mexican immigrants and my blood and alot who I am is Mexican, but its not my homeland. I see myself as completely American. When I lived in Puerto Rico for work, they always called me the Mexican and it was offensive to me.

There is an extremely talented Korean-Cuban trumpeter in L.A. named Harry Kim. Watching this video I was reminded of Harry Never mimd the Commie propaganda included in the video

The sum of individuals is the collective , dear cuban korean . My dear when the cuban regimen help another countries the elite is not the one giving something away is the people of Cuba, the elite live very well, all of them ( the leaders ) suffer overweight.

Al principio dijo q le encantaría viajar para conocer y después dice q prefiere q la hija y la hermana la visiten . Muy incoherente para una licenciada

It's time for Korean Unification!

¡Gracias, Fidel, por todo....Por dejarnos ese pueblo cubano, bravo, digno, consciente, despierto, orgulloso......La Utopia!! .......

They are Cuban. Period.

To my Cuban Korean , Cuba is not strong , Cuba is strongly crumbling.

I am the son of Cubans. I speak and understand Spanish, as my 1st language. At 11:37 the lady says affected "...by the Revolutionary laws". The subtitle says "...like the big business owners". WHAT?! PURE PROPAGANDA AND LIES! Anybody watching this, that does not understand the Cuban dialect, and is relying on the subtitles, is being tricked.

They basically skipped that part in the subtitle. The part after was when she spoke of big businesses that were ruined by the Communist revolution. Dishonest editing, at best.
