I am 26 years old from Guatemala, very soon I will be leaving for Guatemala for the first time in 19 years. Although I have everything in the US I feel I have lost my Identity. No soy americano soy 100% Guatemalteco. No regresare.
I am Cuban-American and born in Miami. This made me cry for the home I have never been able to visit and the family Ive never met. My grandfather was tortured and killed by Castro and so my family never wants to go back. I can not even begin to imagine what it will feel like to meet family for the first time that its only 90 miles away. Thank you for this film.

Esta reflejando una familia cubana dividida donde los hermanos se pelean y la madre culpa a el padre del nino por la separacion y dice que el exilio le han matado el amor por su familia.
Eso no es la realidad !
El pueblo cubano exiliado ama a sus familiares en la isla ,luchan y ayudan diariamente a sus gentes y se sufre mucho la separacion y el abandono de l patria.

Ah. This hit me hard. I came from China 12 years ago. Last year, I returned to visit my family, but as an American Citizen. I know I've changed. And I fear that I've lost too much time with them. But I still love my family.

Hi, I wanna tell you that I'm a cuban living in miami for the past 15 years, with family all over the world including china, where my cousin lives. I visited her recently, for the first time in 15 years.
This moved me. As an european I never imagined this situation in cuban families. Now I see your point. This is what Pangea Day is all about. Seeing the world through other people eyes. Thank you for showing me this.
Very moving story I can relate to it .Wish there was more info where these movies are available for purchase or viewing so we can share with people around us and broaden peoples views of the world .
We live in Miami, and although not of Cuban origin, I fetl this story hit home. This is a very moving film, one that speaks elocuently of diffrent point of views within one, family, but representing 2 diffrenet points of view
Wow, 13 years! Truly, that was a gap greater than the distance itself. Pent up feelings of resent, perhaps regret, formulated into anger. I'm also curious as to what a yuma is, though! Sounds like it'd be some kind of word
They quarrelled, and affected all people at the dining table. Too many views on an issue. That's why Pangea Day is held. To eliminate differences in our views toward each other
muchas veces el dinero es el problema en casa,,,,,,pero no por eso la familia debe destruirse,,,,,,pero aveces es tan dificil e´xpresarse y decir lo tan lo tan qu es importante la vida en los demas,,,,,,

The English sub-title stops in the middle of the movie. I could relate to the picture but would love to know what the brothers are saying.

This film is real and speaks the truth.
pangea is to me the celebration of our differences and the reason of our union.

One of the most amazing shorts I've ever seen (and i've seen a few...)
Highly recommended, extremely powerful.
Bravo!

Wow, 13 years! Truly, that was a gap greater than the distance itself. Pent up feelings of resent, perhaps regret, formulated into anger. I'm also curious as to what a yuma is, though! Sounds like it'd be some kind of word
Nicely done. It's made me think of how I've treated my family.
this story is very touching and so true it tell about two brothers fighting and both were right about the problem
They quarrelled, and affected all people at the dining table. Too many views on an issue. That's why Pangea Day is held. To eliminate differences in our views toward each other
good way to tell the story, thank you
