corner when my father and my two sisters seeking political fury of the second world war we came together quickest because my grandmother had come here in nineteen thirty eight he's been at the head of a remember that most of their first olympics coverage that venice endeavors yard where the houses now oldest plenty all this food remains me how much time we spend in and hunger in the most dire animals face of circumstances where we were herded into compounds in italy and first the muscles cause of the disease that you get are malnourished and they're you're just have these big storms i have a a permanent scar to

remind me of the hunger the star it out of the mine now they're fighting over that range is the people in lines in and every day i look at myself in the air and i i think i got that fighting over food i always grew up with a real fear and down always been afraid that someone was after us or that there would not be enough food or there would not be in a way our two to america and then finally when we we left the camps and coming to the port to the statue of liberty and to be turned away was a terrible thing and you know to think about instruction about the near poor and we're going to know that i played and she couldn't come and i just cannot forget that name

when we have the sail out of the harbor maine and wears a sturgeon moody and have known that we had to wait another wild and poland tried them in america and then that night of course when we came back finally bow on the santa rosa and it was toward evening and i saw the silhouette and the standing knew that we'd never leave it again oh my mother's first job was alongside the migrant workers went with her i loved the smell of the first until

they were wonderful days that especially beautiful lives that had been on the ground so scared of alan and you would have great results that house christianson i'm really more free you know you add this is extraordinary in the fields in burkina dancing chanting listens and new mayor own mat he knows he has a society are so strong and there's nothing there's very little that's the subtle about it people a very definite unknown very strong opinions and have very strong feeling

here and why are people upset it seems like from the beginning of time have been feuding and people are some of things that the dead town previous generation when we came to previous generations are married brought with them feelings of animosity a jazzy i have to you know sell and they brought us and unfortunately that ennobles animosities that would bring over with the us are part of the structure that i think are a major part of his this is islam our closeness back to the obama now when you can do is that we've maintained our cultures so strongly that we really haven't changed her habits when you place the cream and so fast to take a

genetic link my father like many others in the film was a sea captain from the dalmatian coast which is now one of the sun and he turned to fishing in anacortes and lamont say that most that pioneered a lot of the commercials were saying that is then they can try probably ninety percent of that is interested in the island to quote born and it's quite similar to anacortes and someone islands remarkably like the damage because the only difference is that it had sunk the islands here have proximity of that gorgeous rich rubio scattered valley which we did not have an intelligent

the hospital several waves the first wave was seeking economic betterment in the second were seeking political when we're not looking for a while and we'll rebuild they were literally just enjoyed it will have an outdoor additional ocean sciences and you use olive oil and rosemary and garlic now it's the traditional sauce we put it for a plan that's all criticized and one of the most

important things about alternatives extended family and generations all those things in the prisons that i think a festivity enjoy we'll the difference between joy we can together the point when you get a group of growing feeling that runs our

families are families and women of a violin is only in intimate with those that are not as adam calls to dance at parties

dance part evolved this desire to be where the spirit comes from the mother or ten people advance for the second generation lee newton gin but the point of exuberance and joy that something that is in a comedy and sixty five people with twenty nine percent correction level there's no way that i can explain this is that there's a feeling that comes out when we have a group of people together it's a living thing because if you don't keep it up they won't be the last we have the parents or children or grandparents all involved together and the different generations learn from one another it's very difficult to get an ancient instruments therefore we have our own instrument maker now so we are keeping

alive traditions that are possibly lost in croatia i like the system a lot that i made it it was a new experience for me i've never seen as much like those that won't make one and west or working with the lugar they asked me if i could they can sense where the lesson sharon you try this as you have been made by word of mouth more than say in his eye it grew up without nodding annoying or croatia was yugoslavia and last year and i was offered a job to work with what's so what's growing and as it turns out the music i liked what i like most about it was the fact that you have the young

people who we knew the ones in the big ones they're all dancing together rice's just disagree with the concept of a performing company and give a hundred people on my sisters and i have had very colorful and longstanding arguments it at that that is not to be professional you know if you're limited it is important we're going to need to have the correct thing the truth in the real pain than to have something that is professional and we have to give a true picture of what the culture is made up of they know what that well they're singing about why are they wearing these guys were young would see it if you if you talk about recreating the village lie about life that believes like is extinct worried about western world were trying to do it to the best and the ability to preserve those dances to preserve those songs in the music and the

joy that we haven't seen them regardless of whether we understand them totally says in those songs that you can translate maybe i'm thinking modernizing whatever i'm missing the point where sometimes i feel like a dinosaur because i'm trying to keep alive and when you're writing for a very big performance of it takes meaning many many longtime powers and authority and done with this incredible season used to get this catalog and dance and meaningful seeing that everyone gets a right past him at the right time is a man's job and the women

into this i think this is an hour a wardrobe messages tunes apart literally just wonder the first challenge of course is that for them to be authentic if we can get the real thing you have to make it so we find weavers and melon there's leather workers all people that can wreak on strike like original and our cells to for instance and that has one excellent way and then the kids are dancing around rampart helping with costumes and nervous and compensation for them think that it's not a blow but it's a big new era with its was no it's no monster in all of croatia the whole idea of marriage as a ritual and the recession itself is celebrating the fact that the marriage has happened and wishing them all well a very happy future they say

they have no law it's b he

can he's actually tune in on

it i had what i love about our coaching wins remain his own choosing are our lives foreigner in him from a very early age i think as a nun the eighth grade when i knew i was fourteen years old when i knew my husband would eventually be and then having children you have to have strong chose to marry into the stock one relative said you may always be only you have only give it you may always the latter you happen to carry out a prison my grandma which adds a time these things are passed though the whole attitude of the people was choosing a mate that would ensure the survival of the strongest we have applied in every way when i was about twelve years old my parents decided that countries repeat a very suitable mate for me and it will help very much that nick was really there in the community and was a very very nice looking disconsolate it wasn't difficult at all for me to fall madly in love

with it when you chose to make you had to be strong in croatia one of the very important ways to do this was in ritual dances like an ecological warrior it's b fbi is but it's been it's

been that's because banks because it's been the police bomb loving joyful very valuable our religion is so much a part of our lives in every major undertaking we do whether it's a commercial doesn't even spiritual remake american spirit for instance when i tell them the big
