Good short film. Good acting. Great pace--never got bored. Nice to have some aknowledgement to the Filipino community. I'm a Stocktonian, but not a TRUE one. In 1964, I was born at San Joaquin General Hospital, in a little town called, French Camp, about 5 miles south of City Hall. Raised on Grant Street, I was able to enjoy downtown in the 1970's. The Cross-Town freeway, took out most of, "Little Manila." Seen The Fox sign, now The Bob Hope Theatre, really caught my attention. Also, the Stockton Record, on the table brought some nice detail to the film. All of the posters of the famous boxer, "Little Joe," have been taken down. The last standing monument is the, "Filipino Center." Thanks to all who worked on this project.
A piece of history I was not aware of! I am now. This moving short led me to do some research.
A truly amazing short film, with a historical instance I was totally ignorant of. THANK YOU!
Raw and powerful. For once and for all, I wish we could have learned something from our past.
Well done. Nothing I can say that has not already been said. Superb and history repeats itself every day in every country. How sad is the human race?
True history. And it's Exactly what some state governments don't want in the schools. And that's why we don't learn from our past mistakes.
They'd rather Bury it, then learn from it.
Wow! I felt myself contracting every time he spoke, and relaxing every time she responded. Loved the ending. Bravo
Superb. Thank you. A horrible history I was ignorant of until now.
Thank you for watching! We're just glad to be able to illuminate some less-known parts of history.
Same here. Thanks
Back in the 1800's they hated the Chinese immigrants. But, were thrilled that they worked their butts off for little pay and horrid living conditions to build the east and west railroad lines.
Thank you for a beautifully realized true story and metaphor about humanity’s circular and ancient inhumanity.
Thank You! Wow. Some History I wasn't aware of even after 60 years in California. All peoples are Created equal!
Great short!! Alot was said/acted in a few minutes not hours. Glad it was to educate us as well!
She carries herself with class while he chooses to be a jerk!
Wow I just watched this with no knowledge of what I was about to actually watch!!! I am from New Zealand and we the tribes of mother earth have similar stories to share, so much sadness and anger. These actors were great and I would love to shake their hands BRAVO
Mother Earth? What a hippy dippy nightmare.

Well shot - wonderful lighting - sub-standard dialogue - he was unconvincing - she was wonderful.
Wonderful portrayal of a dark and shameful part of California history. Lovely shots within the diner.
I was raised in Sacramento. I have friends of varied Asian ethnicity. I know quite a bit about the Japanese and Chinese history in Northern California, however until now, I never heard about Filipino riots. I have several Filipino friends, including a son-in-law! I live in an orchard, miles of fruit trees surround my home. Specialized augers are used to drill into compacted earth,. Dynamite? Really? I know it was used heavily in gold mining operations and the scars left behind are glaringly obvious. Anyway, thanks. Beautifully done! I learned something and now have to research the shit out of it. History should never be secret.
We are all God's children. Why can't we just all get along?
Great acting…great writing. The dialectical banter like walking amidst political landmines buried in a soil of universal human connection that sometimes provides a safe path to walk along and sometimes hides the danger beneath.
I was married to someone whose parents came to US in their 20s and I never knew about that war nor the Watsonville race riots (can we please start calling them ethnic riots?). I noticed his family had no tolerance for anything negative and when something hard was brought up which was rare, such as his mother recalling her father ducking into the bushes and leaving her on the road when Japanese were shooting, they laughed. I came from tough backround in US which i too was ignoring so I also “looked only on the sunny side” but was older and changing a little bit. My family didn’t talk about the hardships the Irish suffered; i only found out later when reading Frank McCourt’s books. Overall i don’t think the Irish were treated as badly as some other ethnicities and less recently also. Nonethelesss, generational PTSD and the cycle of violence when victimized become perpetrators is saturated in so many families about which nothing is said of the roots.
Actually? According to Thomas Howell, the Irish were among the first, in the history of the "true" slave trade. FYI. 🧐
Oh yeah, that was excellent all the way through to a fine ending. I've subscribed and will let others know that this is what we've been looking for: human interest movies not CGI cartoons taking up the big screens.
Excellent. Both characters well played.
Kind of stumbled upon this film, had no idea by the title what it was about; I'm an American and have been living in the Philippines since 2018. This was an eye-opener to say the least!
On another note, when she mentioned her brother making "buko pie"--I thought about the panda buko I like to buy. They're like donuts, stuffed with shredded coconut.
Nice acting both of them thanks for sharing.
The 2 primary actors were really good!
Showing so much with so little. It was great.
eye opener indeed!
Bravo for being brave and instilling fear against these bastards
Thank you for watching! Yes, Marisol is very brave.
I hope this goes viral soon. It's a really important story.
woww...I didn't know this part of history...superb acting..short film but left a big impact....well done
Well done. I really love a good film like that.
Beautifully done, good actors
Well and truly disturbing. We are totally ignorant over here (Scotland) with all that Racism crap that went on. As our famous Bard wrote "We're all Jock Tamson's Bairns". Nice acting and story - Enjoyed this educational short film 👍
well , it's been a bit over dramatized and focused on here....yes , there was racism here , as everywhere else in the world , but somehow it seems important to a minority here to lash us all with guilt.....it almost guarantees winning an award
@@gaylandbarney2231oof. I bet your family loves having you over at Thanksgiving.
@@gaylandbarney2231Yikes…next time read what you write
@@davidhooker675 i just did....and tho' it was 9 mos. ago , and a bit difficult to remember what it was about , i find nothing Yikable......no misspellings or "bad" ideas....but "racism" is evolving rapidly , so whatever one thinks today will be outmoded ie. , insufficiently dishonest , next week
or have i misunderstood ?
@@abraxasjinx5207 i bet you don't know my family
Loved it
I shall ask my Filipina wife if she has ever heard of this terrible story. Really impressive actors etc. 10/10.
When you hear a gun get cocked and the see it not cocked it kinda kills the mood!
Oops... I didn't notice. Overall, it was a sadly historical movie, suspenseful with excellent acting performances from both actors.
New subscriber frrom❤ kerala❤india❤supur work
Thanks for subbing!
@@soliloquy_films 🥰😊
Very good movie eye-opener
OMG
Wow, we got some messed up history.
👏👏👏❤❤❤❤
POWERFUL!
Note to set designer, There was no plastic containers in the time period portrayed here.
Very powerful.
Great film.
fucking excellent!
I love the music!!! The intro score is amazing
Thanks! The composer, Tangelene Bolton, is terrific!
Well.....no comment needed .....
Haha, thank you for commenting anyway! And thanks for watching.
I wonder why they didn't close the blinds?
My birthday 😢
Never heard of Watsonville race riots.
Good old hate mongering. There’s always something bad about ‘others’.
I hope Texas doesn’t do this to all the Mexicans coming over...
Rumor has it some are doing exactly that from what I've read.
Perhaps the original Texanos should had done the same to all the illegal immigrants that came in droves from the US. But they didn't.
@@HanoverFiste-xu2otIt's sad they didn't d8 their duty.
I’m from China 🇨🇳
while governments play their country reshuffles they never ask the local taxpaying natives who keep them in jobs if they would like to share their society with a totally foreign culture with vastly different values , a problem still greatly occurring today with the same old results
Dang she is pretty.
The American dream no longer exists for generational Americans. Long gone.
Luck of the Irish! Of course we are not suppose to see anything but the woman here. Are we suppose to think her gun didn't fire or was unloaded? Dude is flat as cardboard and probably not an Irish actor. USA government and farmers looking for lowest wage labor are the elephants in the room?
That male actor is just awful. At acting I mean. His character is supposed to be objectionable, but his acting is so much worse.
Why on earth would you show a film like this on You Tube. It is hatwful and abusive in a world where people should try harder to get along. The re are people who would feed on hate. I was a target of hate, awful film.
Because some people have no idea about the things that have happened in the past and caused immense harm. People need to know each other's history to truly understand and move forward. Just saying "try harder to get along" brushes past all the past traumas that have shaped what our society looks like today. We cannot move past hate until everyone sees and understand what hate really does to people.
This is so wrong for all the wrong reasons.
tired stuff. racism, yeah, get it. work on it a bit harder. drive the wedge deeper while pretending to do otherwise.
Your comment shows your ignorance. This isn't just about racism, it's about history, humanity and we, as humans, tend to treat those we don't, and sometimes refuse, to understand. Unfortunately, this still goes on today. People of certain races are subjected to hatred, but when they strike or protest, they are the 'bad guys'. So perhaps open your eyes and see where you, yourself fit in to the picture rather than just complaining about a video you didn't even have to watch.
No objections to this film. And yet, how ironic is it that not a single filmmaker or platform dares deal with the rampant anti-white racism we have today.
Really? Have you looked at virtually every position of power and wealth in this country? White. Male. Racism is about enforcing a system of power in which an advantaged majority enforces it's dominance over a disadvantaged minority. That simply isn't happening in America today. Virtually all wealth and power is in the hands of whites, especially wealthy whites.
.....
...now you have all kind of dogs ( weirdly enough they still aren't allowed ) even the ones that consider themselves as such, and all kinds of filipino, malaezian, coreean.. all kinds.. everywhere..
... wonderful !!!
.......
Excellent
My god America has a dreadful racist history………I never knew about this though - just shameful!
