and to raise our children
together.

:15:07
And nothing in the world...
:15:13
will stop me.

I remember the day
they buried El Californio

:15:45
in the backyard.
:15:47
He left a will and left
everything to my father.

:15:51
But he made it very clear.
:15:54
He didn't want to have
nothing to do with

:15:56
the " pinche" church or
the " pinche" government.

:15:59
He wanted to be buried
right behind the house

:16:02
under the cornfield.
:16:10
And El Californio said exactly
:16:12
what he wanted written
on his grave marker:

:16:14
Don Alejandro Vazquez,
El Californio.

:16:18
Died 1934.
:16:21
When I was born here this
was Mexico. And where I lie,

:16:25
this is still...
:16:27
Mexico.
:16:38
My mother kept her promise.
:16:40
And when my brother Chucho
was old enough, she set off

:16:44
on her long journey home. But
the rains came early that year.

:16:48
She had gone too far
to turn back.
