    The Gazan potters..I hope they are still alive. Everything around them is destroyed. I can't stop crying for them.
  • @shaurmiath6719
    There is something immensely satisfying about watching artisans at work; about seeing a person, an ordinary human, just like you and me, who has dedicated their life to a craft and reached a point where they can make these gorgeous, amazing things like it's second-nature. For us, it's remarkable. For them, it's another workday, and there's something really wonderful about that.
  • @amyhensley4386
    I’m worried about Sabri and his family in Gaza. I’m hoping they are all safe. My heart breaks for them.
  • What a wonderful programme! Seeing real craftsmanship instead of mass-produced junk.
  • It is inspirational to watch these processes that include heart and soul. I want to support the weavers and do appreciate all these artisans.
  • @intifadayuri
    I find it very beautiful how some of these traditions are older than the US, but they're on the verge of totally dissapearing because they're not profitable enought. Because in this world all that matters is money and not preserving invaluable traditions of the human history
  • The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.
  • @Tracy-xe9zu
    I love all of these, but the bone carvers made me say "holy shit" out loud, the level of detail is mind-boggling
  • @judyannee7911
    “We have no energy left in us. It is like reviving a sick person.” That hits me hard ☹️ 💔
  • @mndlessdrwer
    Those drums are ridiculously pretty and their sound has quite a lovely character to it that you don't get with laminated wood shells or metal shells. They're definitely something special.
  • @LadyValkyri
    I really love these "Still Standing" videos. The artistry and craftsmanship is truly beautiful. I would love to try Feni. It's too bad that it is not more widely available. The process is fascinating. Thank you for this eductional and entertaining content, IB. Keep up the great work! Hugs :virtualhug:
  • @Braven9975
    I envy these artisan and craftsman because they do the job that they love doing, they are doing incredible job preserving traditional processes to make these products. The quality is exemplary! Automation thru machine is good but a lot of times the quality suffers because of this. To these men, I say thank you for your hard work and I hope people will realize the value you put into the products that you produce, respect!
  • There is something so satisfying about watching and listening to the process of making those cement tiles. The colors, the scraping sound, it's just a wonderful sensory experience.
  • I've been to Mexico many times and have always enjoyed the hard work the indigenous people do w/their craft. I find it insulting that we, as tourists, always want to haggle w/works of art, but hard work, nevertheless. Their product sells for itself and it is beautiful; I like the blouses and shawls the Mayan women worked on and I also enjoyed the perfume making in India. God bless those people for their hard work and trying to feed their families.
  • Saied’s work is beautiful, especially the Grey Diamond Mosaic! He is unique!
  • @vikon170
    A very big thanks to the whole team who have traveled across the globe spending days & months gathering this information. A very good documentary covering various family skills from around the world all compiled in a 1 hr segment.
  • @desert_holly
    I love this video so much but I really do wish there was some mention of how to purchase some of these items from these talented and beautiful people. Especially the Guatemalan weavers.
  • @alaska68752
    These people are real people. People I wish I had the privilege of knowing personally. We need more good honest humans like these that care so much for family, and quality of life.
  • @gardenbb
    I could watch these types of documentaries literally all day long. It’s just so heartwarming!👌🏼
