00:00:30Let's see together if you can achieve the American Dream.
00:00:41In today's episode, three strong and brave women dare to raise their children very far from their country,
00:00:48with only one goal, to look for a better future.
00:00:52And I came without knowing anyone.
00:00:55I came when I was seven months pregnant.
00:01:00I arrived at one in the morning, I had two jobs.
00:01:03And I look back and say, how did I do it?
00:01:06I am a representative of the Shaolin Kung Fu style.
00:01:10When I manage, with my dance, that you disconnect, mission accomplished.
00:01:16What do your children think?
00:01:17I know they feel proud of me.
00:01:21Because their dream is to get to the White House.
00:01:24It excites me.
00:01:26All the love that we have given each other has no price.
00:01:45I met Carolina before.
00:01:48When I lived in Chile, I came to Las Vegas to a tourism congress.
00:01:55And she was the choreographer, the ambassador.
00:01:59But I didn't know I lived here.
00:02:01So today I'm going to know her story.
00:02:05Hello.
00:02:06Hello.
00:02:07Welcome.
00:02:09Welcome to Las Vegas.
00:02:10It's good to see you again.
00:02:12Yes, really.
00:02:16And why did you invite me here?
00:02:18What is so special about this for you?
00:02:21Well, we, here in this gymnasium, we do our 18th of September.
00:02:26Here we gather all the Chileans.
00:02:29Our sixth year.
00:02:31But the association, this year that passed, turned 30 years old.
00:02:39Carolina was born in Paradero 20 de la Florida.
00:02:42She dreamed of living in the United States and achieve an American-style family.
00:02:48But fate put great obstacles in her way.
00:02:52She separated and had to raise her children alone.
00:02:57The eldest, Caroline, is a talented violinist and enthusiastic democrat
00:03:03who fought for Kamala Harris to get to the White House.
00:03:09Together, they preside over an association that tries to bring together the Chileans of Las Vegas.
00:03:18How many people came last year?
00:03:20500.
00:03:22They come to eat churrasco.
00:03:24Churrasco.
00:03:25Yes.
00:03:26So you have to hire local churrasco makers.
00:03:29Yes, correct.
00:03:30We have a spectacular Chilean lady who makes churrasco, lomitos, churipanes.
00:03:35The idea of this is that the culture remains.
00:03:39Correct?
00:03:40Yes.
00:03:41The culture is preserved.
00:03:48How much work is it for you two?
00:03:52Completely voluntary.
00:03:54Yes.
00:03:55Everyone who helps make this event as big as it is, they do it for the love of the country.
00:04:01Love of the country.
00:04:02In the association, apart from doing this cultural issue,
00:04:06if someone comes with a problem, for example,
00:04:09we had a Chilean lady who came here and had cancer.
00:04:14I made a call to the Chilean community to do a mini teletón.
00:04:21We sold fried fish with mayo potatoes and Chilean salad,
00:04:25and everything that was sold that day,
00:04:28and all the completes that were sold,
00:04:30and all the lemon pies that were sold,
00:04:33all that was sold went to charity.
00:04:37So we opened at 9 in the morning, I think,
00:04:41and we finished at 12 at night.
00:04:43Do you mind if we go to the house?
00:04:49I would like to see if we can ask him to play the violin.
00:04:52Okay.
00:04:53Yes?
00:04:54Perfect.
00:04:55Welcome.
00:04:56I remember the first time I was in a Tesla, I didn't know how to turn it off.
00:05:02And you, Caroline, here, did you start playing the violin?
00:05:12I was five years old, but I actually started on the piano.
00:05:28But, I don't know, later he gave me the violin,
00:05:32and I told my mom, and thank God she listened to me,
00:05:36and we put effort into it from the beginning,
00:05:39and now I've been playing the violin for almost 15 years.
00:06:06Were you born here in Chile?
00:06:08Here, yes.
00:06:09Your Spanish is still pretty Chilean, I mean, it's naturalized.
00:06:12But I know a lot of Chileans who have been here for 15 years,
00:06:15and they already speak like me.
00:06:18I went to Chile every year for two or three months at a time,
00:06:21to stay with my grandparents, my family.
00:06:27You are at the university, you are working, what do you do?
00:06:30I am in my third year at the university here in Las Vegas,
00:06:34I am studying to be a lawyer.
00:06:36And what relationship do you have with the violin? Is it your hobby?
00:06:39I've been playing the violin for so long,
00:06:42that it became, I don't know, a way to de-stress, but also,
00:06:49what I always liked about the violin was that you can push yourself to the limits,
00:06:55it's like a competition with yourself.
00:06:58Because since I was a girl, I always went to Chile,
00:07:01my grandma, I think if she had the resources when she was a kid,
00:07:06she would have been a musician too.
00:07:08Definitely.
00:07:09And well, she always played me, I don't know how to say that,
00:07:12the guitar?
00:07:13Her turntable.
00:07:14Her turntable.
00:07:15She played me jazz from Mantoman, Gershwin, T-42, from anyone,
00:07:23and I grew up with that.
00:07:31I'm going to give you some water because it's really hot here in Vegas.
00:07:36So you don't get dehydrated.
00:07:37So, let's toast with water. Here I'll show you the house.
00:07:43What Chilean and gringo things do you have mixed in your house?
00:07:47Well, the most important thing, my Chilean corner.
00:07:53Your corner.
00:07:54Yes, it's not very...
00:07:55The wine.
00:07:56The wine, the wine for me is...
00:07:58The Indio Pícaro.
00:07:59Correct, the wine is vital.
00:08:05And this painting, what does it represent for you?
00:08:07This painting, well, this is the emerald and it was a gift from my brother,
00:08:13who is in Chile.
00:08:20This is the most gringo detail you can see.
00:08:22Yes.
00:08:23The gringos have such a big house that they don't disarm their Christmas tree.
00:08:28Yes, what happens is that disarming this tree is too high.
00:08:33They tell us that the tree is from New York, so the town square.
00:08:42How did you merge the childhood that would have been a 100% mom living in Chile
00:08:50with what you learned in the local culture?
00:08:55It's a very complicated subject.
00:08:59I got a divorce, so it was even worse.
00:09:04It was mom and dad.
00:09:06I had to learn from them, more than anything, from Caroline, the eldest.
00:09:11With the eldest we learned together what the educational system was like.
00:09:17I learned everything.
00:09:20How do you explain that your daughter reached the professional level of violin?
00:09:26What percentage of her was born?
00:09:29How many children live in a culture that pushes you to excellence?
00:09:36Yes, excellence, definitely.
00:09:38They are both students.
00:09:40They are honors students.
00:09:49Caroline Salvador Avila!
00:10:20Luis Miguel, your idol.
00:10:22Also my idol.
00:10:24Exactly, I forgot about that.
00:10:26That was the best.
00:10:28It was something that I have no words for.
00:10:32It's a pride.
00:10:34What we have done, what we have been doing since we were 6 years old,
00:10:38now it was just a fruit.
00:10:40And I look back and say, how did I do it if I was divorced?
00:10:46I arrived at 1 in the morning.
00:10:48I had two jobs.
00:10:50I worked as a waitress.
00:10:52I had another job in the morning until 2 in the afternoon.
00:10:55From there I would pick them up at school.
00:10:58I would change my clothes and I would go to work as a waitress.
00:11:02So I would say, now I look back, I was divorced.
00:11:06I didn't have a boyfriend.
00:11:08I didn't have time to meet anyone.
00:11:11When your daughter comes down, what song are we going to ask her on the piano?
00:11:15What song do you ask her to play?
00:11:18We like the piano a lot.
00:11:21Everything that is Christmas.
00:11:23Because on Christmas we can be together.
00:11:25Even if it's in Chile and the tree is still there.
00:11:28It doesn't matter. We are going to Chile.
00:11:30And if we are going to Chile, it's to be with our family.
00:11:33Caroline!
00:11:35How are you?
00:11:37We need you.
00:11:39Perfect.
00:12:09♪♪
00:12:38Bravo.
00:12:40Beautiful.
00:12:42It always excites me.
00:12:45Why?
00:12:47We started from nothing.
00:12:49I was devastated.
00:12:52It has been...
00:12:55To get what we have.
00:12:57To get where we are now.
00:13:01It has been such a big sacrifice.
00:13:05I don't know how we got so high.
00:13:11It excites me.
00:13:14Beautiful.
00:13:15It excites me.
00:13:19♪♪
00:13:24When you go to Chile, what are you going to do?
00:13:27I'm going to be with my family.
00:13:30My aunt, my grandmother.
00:13:32I love it.
00:13:34My mom goes for the family.
00:13:36But I like to see the country.
00:13:38My aunt takes me downtown.
00:13:40She takes me to Viña, to paradise.
00:13:43I met Kike a few years ago.
00:13:46I love it. I love Chile.
00:13:48♪♪
00:13:52Your drive.
00:13:53How do you understand your story?
00:13:56How do you explain your drive?
00:13:58I don't know how to say it in Spanish, but I can translate it.
00:14:01Yo creo que mi iniciativa definitivamente en parte me la enseñó mi mamá
00:14:07porque ella fue la que siempre me empujaba.
00:14:11Empezamos con el violín primero.
00:14:14Teníamos que ir a las clases el lunes, martes, miércoles, jueves, viernes, el sábado.
00:14:20Descansábamos, pero el domingo igual tocaba el violín en la iglesia.
00:14:24♪♪
00:14:29Nada es imposible.
00:14:30Esa me lo dijo siempre.
00:14:32Y aunque no me lo decía, yo sabía porque me lo mostró.
00:14:36Nosotros pasamos por harto.
00:14:38O sea, nosotros no siempre vivimos en una casa así.
00:14:42Estuvimos en la calle por un tiempo y tuvimos los tres juntitos.
00:14:47Tuvimos que crecer.
00:14:48¿A qué te refieres?
00:14:50¿Tú viviste en la calle?
00:14:51A nosotros se nos hizo súper difícil después del divorcio.
00:14:55Aquí justo pegó...
00:14:57Bueno, Las Vegas es la ciudad que más le pegó la recesión del 2008, 2010, por ahí.
00:15:05Y nosotros aquí perdimos todo.
00:15:08O sea, más encima, mis papás se estaban divorciando.
00:15:11Y, o sea, literalmente quedamos en la calle.
00:15:16Pero...
00:15:17Te quitaron la casa, el banco.
00:15:18La casa, el auto, todo.
00:15:20Y mi mamá quedó sola.
00:15:23¿Y qué te recuerda esa época?
00:15:26Fue difícil, fue fuerte.
00:15:28Pero igual creo que es la razón por la cual yo entiendo cuando ella me dice que nada es imposible.
00:15:37Porque, o sea, se esforzó y ahora vivimos aquí.
00:15:41¿Qué canción tocaste para Obama?
00:15:45El himno nacional.
00:15:47¿Puedes tocar eso?
00:15:48Bueno.
00:16:11Puedo.
00:16:35¡Bravo!
00:16:37Hermoso.
00:16:38Gracias.
00:16:39It's beautiful, beautiful. I've never had a private concert of my national anthem.
00:16:44My dad said the same thing.
00:16:47How many gringos have you made cry with that song?
00:16:51A lot, yes. In almost all events I always find the veterans.
00:16:56Well, I find the veterans because they come to tell me that they had never heard it on the violin.
00:17:01I never gringo.
00:17:10Las Vegas is a city that never sleeps.
00:17:17Its more than 150 casinos are open 24 hours a day,
00:17:21and the nights are illuminated by dazzling neon lights.
00:17:28What do you like most about Las Vegas?
00:17:30I like that it feels like a city.
00:17:32Everything is always happening. Everything happens here.
00:17:39A city that attracts more than 40 million tourists a year.
00:17:43It's a place of party and fun.
00:17:47For these two girls, it's the sweet home.
00:17:52But what happens here, stays here.
00:18:00Everything is 24-7.
00:18:02And that's an advantage that only happens here in Las Vegas.
00:18:08In no other city in the United States does that happen, only here.
00:18:18This hotel, the Bellagio, is where all the people part.
00:18:22On the first night, everyone comes to see the botanical garden, to see the fountains.
00:18:27It's like, here you have everything. It's like the center of everything.
00:18:34I mean, this has to go.
00:18:39I love that here, the music of the city is jazz.
00:18:44Frank Sinatra. I love it.
00:18:47Franklin Sinatra. I love it.
00:19:07Carolyn, I heard in the car that your project, in a couple of years,
00:19:14you're going to go to the university, you're going to go to Washington.
00:19:17Would you go back to Las Vegas as your home, or are you going to look for your new home,
00:19:21I don't know, as a politician, as a lawyer, as a judge, as a diplomat?
00:19:25Las Vegas is my home.
00:19:27If I decide to get more involved in politics,
00:19:31maybe I'll go back to Las Vegas and stay here and make my life here.
00:19:44Where do you imagine yourself in 10 years, then? What is your dream?
00:19:48Are you going to be a governor? Are you going to be a senator?
00:19:52I would like to be a senator, or maybe an international lawyer.
00:19:58Because their dream is to get to the White House.
00:20:02It's spoken as so normal in my house, that I told him the other day,
00:20:07if either of them gets to the White House,
00:20:10they give me a space in a guest house.
00:20:13And they said, Mom, how are we going to have you in the guest house?
00:20:16It's nice, because I see that your mom did all her life to get you up,
00:20:22and now you're going to do all your life to take her when you get up alone.
00:20:29For us, it's super normal to think that when we are, I don't know, 30, 35,
00:20:3540 years old, that we are going to be sharing my mom between the two houses.
00:21:05Beautiful.
00:21:19Girls, today was wonderful. I got to know your life.
00:21:23I thought that I came to know only the Chilean association,
00:21:30but I got to know a lot more. I got to know a beautiful family.
00:21:33I met a person who has fallen, who has gotten up multiple times.
00:21:38I met a mom who is supporting her family.
00:21:41But I thought I was coming on a trip, and you are on a trip.
00:21:45So I say goodbye, because I think I'm going to meet you.
00:21:49You're going to Washington, D.C.
00:21:51Look, I'm not feeling sorry.
00:21:53Maybe you'll go to the White House.
00:21:56And I hope to meet you again.
00:21:59It was a pleasure for us.
00:22:01I love you.
00:22:32Hello, how are you, Fernando?
00:22:36What a reaction, Capi. How are you?
00:22:38Welcome. It's so nice to meet you.
00:22:40I was going to say, it's been a long time, but it's so nice to meet you.
00:22:43Yes, it's been a long time since I wanted to meet you.
00:22:45Come in, come in.
00:22:46Hello, how are you?
00:22:47Nice to meet you.
00:22:49My daughter, Elena, my niece.
00:22:52Hello, how are you?
00:22:53My mom.
00:22:54It's so nice to meet you.
00:22:56Welcome.
00:22:58I want to invite you to make an exquisite pisco sour.
00:23:03So you do it.
00:23:05I've never made a pisco sour in the U.S.
00:23:08I don't have pisco.
00:23:09There's lemon.
00:23:11And for how many people are we making pisco sour?
00:23:13For 1, 2, 3, 10, 5, 7, 8.
00:23:17It seems like it's for 10 people.
00:23:19Do you all live here?
00:23:21The three of us, yes.
00:23:23Elena is my niece.
00:23:24I live with my sister nearby.
00:23:27Chilena too?
00:23:28Chilena.
00:23:29Chilena.
00:23:30She was born here?
00:23:31Yes.
00:23:32But Chilena is...
00:23:33But look, Matilda was also born here, but she was made in Chile.
00:23:37Yes?
00:23:38Of course.
00:23:39So I came here when I was 7 months pregnant.
00:23:4527 years ago, Catherine Molinette, an ex-infantile clan of giant sardines,
00:23:51took the bold decision to leave everything behind and move to the U.S.
00:23:58Little by little, Cathy has brought almost her entire family to North America
00:24:02so that her daughters can feel like they're part of a typical Chilean family.
00:24:08Today, in Minneapolis, she succeeds with her fitness dance studio and her Zumba classes.
00:24:15Let's knit a little bit for the next one.
00:24:18What are we going to do?
00:24:20And now...
00:24:21If you want, look.
00:24:24Just throw it in.
00:24:27It's eight in the morning.
00:24:30The party is on today.
00:24:43Who plays the piano?
00:24:44Matilda used to play a little bit before.
00:24:46I don't know if she's around. Do you want to play the piano?
00:24:49Maybe now.
00:25:17What do you like about living here?
00:25:19Well, at first I liked it a lot because it's safer to raise a family.
00:25:26The greenery, the spectacular nature of Minnesota, of the 10,000 lakes.
00:25:32And the people are very kind.
00:25:35But I also have the studio, which sometimes I have to get there before time for fitness and dancing.
00:25:40Are you happy?
00:25:41No, no, no.
00:25:42Like a gym?
00:25:43No, it's a dance studio.
00:25:45Let's put it that way.
00:25:46But I also do fitness classes.
00:25:48And we opened in 2012, but I've been teaching fitness classes since 2004,
00:25:56since Octavia was born.
00:26:01Your family is all kind of charismatic, ready to go.
00:26:08Well, the truth is that my family, my mom and my uncles had a singing group in Chile,
00:26:16Patricio y las Belindas.
00:26:39I've never seen them on TV.
00:26:41You've never seen them?
00:26:42I've never seen them, but I've heard of them.
00:26:44They're on YouTube.
00:26:45And how did you get into dancing?
00:26:47Did you dance something in Chile?
00:26:49I always danced.
00:26:50I had dance classes and everything.
00:26:52But I worked at Sábado Gigante.
00:26:55What?
00:26:56Do you know Sábado Gigante?
00:26:57Yes, yes.
00:26:58Have you heard of Don Francisco?
00:26:59Yes, of course.
00:27:00Because who doesn't know Don Francisco?
00:27:01Yes, of course.
00:27:04Yes, I worked playing Papa y la Mamá, which was a segment within Sábado Gigante,
00:27:10which was Los Niños Actores.
00:27:12I want you to draw a line of union between point A and point B.
00:27:21But how did it take so long between one point and another?
00:27:24That's how my dad taught me, miss.
00:27:26Your dad taught you?
00:27:27Yes.
00:27:29That's how my dad taught me, miss.
00:27:31Is your dad a teacher?
00:27:32No, he's a taxi driver.
00:27:36Bravo!
00:27:39It's good that he studied in Spain, but I find him very cheeky.
00:27:44Tell me, young man, if I send this letter by plane, does Antofagasta arrive tomorrow?
00:27:49Of course, ma'am.
00:27:51He's going?
00:27:52That's weird.
00:27:53Why is he sending it to Concepción?
00:27:56What does your life in Chile remind you of?
00:28:00I am a person who is easy to adapt to.
00:28:05I adapt quickly to situations, to the moment, to people.
00:28:11And I think that in Chile I always lived my life happily.
00:28:14For example, my parents separated when I was very young, but I managed to overcome it.
00:28:21I'm never a person who judges a lot or sees the negative in the past.
00:28:27I always find something positive.
00:28:29It happened to me, I was better.
00:28:31Thanks to this, I learned this, thanks to this, I learned this, thanks to this.
00:28:35As they say, thanks to everything that has happened to me, I am the person I am today.
00:28:39Who arrived?
00:28:40My sister.
00:28:42What's her name?
00:28:43Maria Paz.
00:28:44Maria Paz, come in!
00:28:46Hello, how are you?
00:28:48Fine, and you?
00:28:49Nice to meet you.
00:28:50Hello!
00:28:55Look at the welcome we give you!
00:28:57With our friend Peter!
00:29:00Hello!
00:29:01Come in, come in!
00:29:03And when did you arrive in the United States?
00:29:06I arrived...
00:29:08Do you know Charlie?
00:29:10Yes, I know Charlie.
00:29:13I arrived when I was 12 years old.
00:29:1612 years old.
00:29:17And was it your sister who recruited you and your mother to come here?
00:29:22Yes.
00:29:23She's like an ambassador, like a Chilean consulate in Venezuela.
00:29:26I'm the consulate ambassador.
00:29:33Peter, do you dance Cueca?
00:29:35No.
00:29:37How long have you lived in Chile, man?
00:29:39A few years, 15 years.
00:29:41And you don't dance Cueca?
00:29:44Do you dance hip hop?
00:29:46I dance hip hop.
00:29:48Wait, wait, wait!
00:29:51Because the equivalent to Cueca in the United States is country.
00:29:55Do you two-step?
00:29:56Yes, two-step!
00:29:58Slow, slow, quick, quick, slow.
00:30:02Slow, quick, quick, slow.
00:30:04Slow, quick, quick, slow.
00:30:07Slow, quick, quick, slow.
00:30:10Slow, slow, quick, quick, slow.
00:30:16Slow, quick, quick, quick, slow.
00:30:21Good, good!
00:30:29How are you?
00:30:30I'm fine.
00:30:31Nice to meet you.
00:30:32Let's dance!
00:30:33You arrived just in time!
00:30:35The daughter of the theme!
00:30:38Were you talking about me?
00:30:39Do you want to dance?
00:30:40No, no.
00:30:46Let's go!
00:30:54How long have you been living in this neighborhood?
00:30:57All my life.
00:30:5921 years and almost 17 years.
00:31:02And what's the name of this part of Minnesota?
00:31:04Here? Richfield.
00:31:06Where did you go to school?
00:31:08Here, right here.
00:31:10Oh, that's where your grandmother told me you went to school.
00:31:14Walking, and also the little girl.
00:31:16When did you realize
00:31:18that the community that your mother had created
00:31:22with your aunt, with your grandmother,
00:31:24who had that support, was special?
00:31:27Actually, when I went to college,
00:31:30I realized that not everyone has that community at home.
00:31:36And even my friends told me,
00:31:38you're so lucky, you have so many people around you.
00:31:43I wish I had all these people.
00:31:45I wish my birthday parties were full of people.
00:31:48I wish I had people who cared, basically.
00:32:06I feel like the ability to have family time
00:32:09as well as being able to work and succeed so much.
00:32:12Balancing life.
00:32:13Yeah.
00:32:14She balances so much, like constantly juggling.
00:32:17She mixes all well.
00:32:20Like, you wouldn't even know what she's going through.
00:32:23She can handle a lot.
00:32:33What have you learned from her in that resilience?
00:32:37Just to remain positive.
00:32:40Yeah.
00:32:41You're always going to have maybe something
00:32:43that you think is like the worst thing in the world,
00:32:46but at the end of the day, like, your life is still good.
00:32:49Your life is still positive,
00:32:50because at the end of the day, you have a roof over your head.
00:32:53You have family that loves you.
00:33:10Mira, ahí vengo yo de antes.
00:33:12Ah, hola, Katia.
00:33:28Me decían tus hijas que su primer idioma fue español.
00:33:34Y yo también quería inculcarles eso a ellas,
00:33:37que aparte de que hubiesen nacido en otro lugar,
00:33:40también son chilenas.
00:33:41Y creo que lo logré, porque ahora me dicen,
00:33:43¿De dónde son?
00:33:44Y ellas dos dicen, ¿De Chile?
00:33:46Sí.
00:33:47La otra cosa que me dijo muy bonita, bueno, las dos,
00:33:52me refiero a Octavia, es, yo le pregunté
00:33:56en qué momento apreciar en la comunidad
00:34:02el sistema de apoyo que tú criaste alrededor de ellas.
00:34:08Y me dijeron que fue familias mexicanas, niñas mexicanas,
00:34:13niños gringos, que le dijeron, oh, yo quiero mis cumpleaños
00:34:18así donde llegan todos.
00:34:20Quiero mi pajama parecida donde llegan mis primas
00:34:24y mis tías y mi abuela me pasen a buscar.
00:34:28Fue muy madura escuchar como dijeron eso.
00:34:32Miren, me emociona irme escuchando.
00:34:34Me emociona escuchar eso.
00:34:36Creo que sí, creo que para mí siempre ha sido
00:34:39lo más importante es siempre inculcarles lo familiar.
00:34:43Siempre lo achoclonado, como decimos.
00:34:47El no sentirse solo.
00:34:49Eso es demasiado importante y lamentablemente
00:34:53aquí en Estados Unidos se vive mucho eso.
00:34:56Muy sola.
00:34:57Los niños crecen muy solos.
00:34:59Y eso siempre se los estaba recordando,
00:35:02que la suerte que tenían ellas de llegar a la casa
00:35:06con alguien siempre en la casa.
00:35:08Conmigo o con mi mamá tuve la suerte
00:35:10de que ha estado aquí con nosotros
00:35:12y que tienen un plato rico hecho a mano,
00:35:16que es comida natural, que no están comiendo algo de caja
00:35:19y que todo el amor que entre nosotras nos hemos brindado
00:35:23es como priceless, como si aquí no tiene precio.
00:35:37Esto es lo que pienso.
00:35:39Yo soy una persona de mucha fe.
00:35:41Soy una persona que para qué, digo,
00:35:43para qué voy a preocupar al resto
00:35:45si mañana a lo mejor voy a estar bien.
00:35:47Y por más difícil que sea la situación,
00:35:49es como siempre digo la frase,
00:35:51lo único que no tiene solución es la muerte.
00:35:54El resto, todo viene y va.
00:35:56La plata, todo viene y va.
00:35:58La gente se encasilla mucho en lo material.
00:36:01Y al final lo material va y viene.
00:36:05Es más, agregué una canción a mi clase de zumba,
00:36:09que es de salsa, y la letra dice,
00:36:11si mañana me muero, yo no me llevo a nada.
00:36:22Bienvenidos a Siem's Fitness and Dance.
00:36:30La gente me pregunta qué es lo que es Siem's.
00:36:33Mi nombre.

00:37:03You guys in good hands?
00:37:05What does this place mean to you?
00:37:07Oh boy, this is my home away from home.
00:37:10This is a big part of my heart.
00:37:13I've seen some good things out of myself
00:37:16from down here to up here,
00:37:19and I've heard a thing for it in the community that we have.
00:37:24Okay, so today we have a super special class
00:37:28because there's people from Chile visiting.
00:37:31And...
00:37:33Whoo!
00:37:35Yo siento felicidad.
00:37:37Yo quiero que la gente sienta lo que siento yo.
00:37:40Quiero que sientan lo que es pasarlo bien,
00:37:43lo que es desconectarse, que a veces se peguen.
00:37:46Que se peguen un grito porque eso cuesta.

00:38:34el trabajo del doctor,
00:38:36cuando yo logro ese momento con ustedes aquí,
00:38:39esa es mi misión que ya está, misión cumplida.
00:38:47When I look at you, I see something's different, like part of you just couldn't bear it, being
00:39:04still.
00:39:05Somewhere in between the light and shadow, knowing you can't know anything for sure.
00:39:20There's something here.
00:39:24There's always been something that doesn't bend with every changing wind.
00:39:44To pull us through.
00:39:47Just in case, I do my classes in English, Spanish, and I also do some Spanish.
00:40:16And I also do some Mandarin.
00:40:18Hola, Peter.
00:40:19¿Cómo estás?
00:40:20¿Cómo estás tú?
00:40:21Muy bien.
00:40:22Mucho gusto.
00:40:23Perdona la interrupción.
00:40:24No.
00:40:25Bienvenido.
00:40:26Voy a seguir con la clase.
00:40:27Está bien.
00:40:28No hay problema.
00:40:29Okay, guys.
00:40:30We're going to do a little bit of Spanish.
00:40:31We're going to do a little bit of Spanish.
00:40:32We're going to do a little bit of Spanish.
00:40:33We're going to do a little bit of Spanish.
00:40:34We're going to do a little bit of Spanish.
00:40:35We're going to do a little bit of Spanish.
00:40:36We're going to do a little bit of Spanish.
00:40:37We're going to do a little bit of Spanish.
00:40:38We're going to do a little bit of Spanish.
00:40:39We're going to do a little bit of Spanish.
00:40:41Bienvenido.
00:40:42Voy a seguir con la clase.
00:40:43Está bien.
00:40:44No hay problema.
00:40:45Okay, guys.
00:40:46We're going to do a quick warm-up, okay?
00:40:47So, ready, set, extend your arms.
00:41:03Good.
00:41:04Good job.
00:41:05What is she teaching them right now?
00:41:06So right now, she's working on stances.
00:41:11So how do you do this?
00:41:12We take one foot.
00:41:14Does it matter which one?
00:41:15No.
00:41:16Because you can do it on both sides.
00:41:18And then this back foot.
00:41:19I can't hang out here.
00:41:34Okay.
00:41:35Hip.
00:41:36Good.
00:41:37And...
00:41:41Okay.
00:41:43Enseñando clases de artes marciales de un arte que yo nunca he conocido.
00:41:48En el centro de Estados Unidos, en Denver, Colorado,
00:41:51con profesores que tienen instituto hace como 15 años.
00:41:56No solamente es difícil, pero todos los nombres están en chino,
00:42:02que yo no entendí nada.
00:42:03Entonces, me tenía que traducir en inglés.
00:42:08It's, I think, different for every person.
00:42:10You have a lot of folks who really got inspired by their fitness self.
00:42:15There's other folks who like just the tradition and the history of Shaolin Kung Fu.
00:42:25I think for most people, what it really speaks to is that
00:42:28they don't like the gym lifestyle.
00:42:31This takes the whole body, the whole spirit, and it makes it.
00:42:37Dijo algo interesante.
00:42:38Dijo que piensa que muchos de los alumnos vienen para acá
00:42:43porque no quieren el ambiente gimnasio.
00:42:47Quieren la paz, o quieren la disciplina, o quieren la metodología,
00:42:52o quieren la técnica, pero no quieren esa cultura de músculos.
00:42:58Quieren la cultura de cabeza junto con músculos.
00:43:08Ah, mi casa.
00:43:10¿Fue un grupo?
00:43:11Sí.
00:43:12¿Descansaste harto?
00:43:14Sí, se me hizo cortita la clase igual.
00:43:17¿Lloveres para ellos?
00:43:18No.
00:43:19No.
00:43:26¿Partiste a los 12 años?
00:43:28¿Dónde partiste acá?
00:43:30En Arica.
00:43:32Pamela Bradford dejó Arica cuando tenía 25 años
00:43:36con el deseo de perfeccionar su inglés
00:43:39y con la esperanza de enganchar el amor que en Chile aún no había conocido.
00:43:47En Estados Unidos formó una familia y hoy lucha
00:43:50para que sus hijos mantengan algún vínculo con su país.
00:43:54Se radicó en Fort Collins, Colorado,
00:43:57donde intenta dedicarse a su real pasión.
00:44:00El Shaolin Kung Fu.
00:44:04Y profesora en Denver, Colorado.
00:44:07¿Hace cuántos años vives acá?
00:44:09Bueno, me vine a los Estados Unidos en 1996.
00:44:12Aquí en Colorado en el 98.
00:44:16¿Eres profesora en Chile también?
00:44:18Yo soy profesora en Chile.
00:44:20Soy representante del estilo Shaolin Kung Fu.
00:44:25Yo nunca había escuchado esa arte marcial.
00:44:28¿Es conocido?
00:44:29Lo que pasa es que generalmente se dice Kung Fu,
00:44:32pero Kung Fu tiene varios estilos.
00:44:34Y el Kung Fu está el Kung Fu del norte y el Kung Fu del sur.
00:44:39Entonces sí es conocido y era conocido,
00:44:42pero era una mezcla en Chile hace muchos años.
00:44:45Era como entre karate, taekwondo y todo eso.
00:44:48Y ahora como se ha masificado más y se ha hecho más posible ir a China
00:44:53y conocer realmente el arte tradicional,
00:44:55por eso ahora se dice Shaolin Kung Fu o Shaolin Wushu.
00:45:00¿Tú entiendes las palabras en chino?
00:45:02Un poco sí.
00:45:03Y fuiste a China también.
00:45:05Sí.
00:45:11¿Y tú vives en qué parte de Denver?
00:45:13Ahora yo me mudé a Fort Collins.
00:45:16Viví en Denver 15 años.
00:45:18¿Y sola?
00:45:19No, estoy con mi marido y mis hijos.
00:45:22¿Podemos ir a conocerlos?
00:45:24Sí, yo te invito allá a Fort Collins.
00:45:26Es súper bonito.
00:45:27Te dejo cambiar y vamos para allá.
00:45:29Ya pues.
00:45:30Nos vemos.
00:45:39Hola.
00:45:40Permiso.
00:45:41¿Cómo estás?
00:45:42Qué bonito tu casa.
00:45:44Mi primera vez en Fort Collins.
00:45:49¿Cómo se llama este amigo?
00:45:50El perrito se llama Shaolin.
00:45:52Shaolin.
00:45:53Shaolin, como el templo de Shaolin,
00:45:55pero es de mi papá y mis papás quisieron ponerle Shaolin también.
00:46:07¿A qué edad llegaste a Estados Unidos?
00:46:10A los 25.
00:46:14Me vine sin conocer a nadie.
00:46:17Yo dije, quiero salir del país, quiero aprender mejor inglés,
00:46:21y me iba a ir a Canadá.
00:46:22Pero una amiga me dijo, saca la visa para Estados Unidos,
00:46:25te va a resultar.
00:46:26Y yo no sé cómo, pero sí me resultó.
00:46:28Y me vine sin conocer a nadie.
00:46:30Y empecé a explorar diferentes lugares.
00:46:32¿Y qué fue tu primer trabajo llegando acá?
00:46:34¿No fue kung fu?
00:46:36No, no fue kung fu.
00:46:37Hice todo, hasta guardia de seguridad.
00:46:43Al año de haber llegado acá ya,
00:46:46ya estaba por devolverme a Chile,
00:46:48porque dije, no, extraño a mi familia.
00:46:51Y conozco a mi marido.
00:46:55Él se enamoró de mí, yo no me había dado cuenta de él.
00:46:58Y dentro de ese mes salimos como tres veces,
00:47:02y me pidió que me casara, y nos casamos.
00:47:05¿Pocos citas?
00:47:08Llevamos 27 años de casado.
00:47:10¿Y tú hablabas inglés bien?
00:47:13Poquito.
00:47:14O sea, hablaba mejor que mucha gente,
00:47:16pero tampoco tan bien.
00:47:18En la ceremonia, me acuerdo del matrimonio,
00:47:20nos casaron y me dijeron un montón de cosas,
00:47:23y en una parte decía,
00:47:24¿Aceptas, your awful husband?
00:47:27Y era, your lawful husband.
00:47:29Y era una cosa tan así, yo entendí, awful.
00:47:32Tú escuchaste asqueroso,
00:47:34y ellos dijeron tu marido legalmente.
00:47:37Legalmente, correcto.
00:47:38Entonces yo, ¡ah!
00:47:40Tu marido asqueroso.
00:47:42Fue como loco,
00:47:43pero es que era mucha terminología legal.
00:47:48Si sus hijos son gringos, son chilenos.
00:47:52Nacido en los Estados Unidos, tengo dos hijos.
00:47:56¡Niños!
00:48:19Porque, you know,
00:48:20una parte de la familia hace otras cosas,
00:48:21pero creo que es bueno,
00:48:22porque puedes ver las dos facetas de tu familia.
00:48:26Puedes ver cómo se comportan ambas culturas,
00:48:28y cosas así, ¿sabes?
00:48:30¿Hablan español?
00:48:31Sí.
00:48:32¿Dónde aprendieron? ¿En casa? ¿Viajando?
00:48:35En la casa aprendimos a hablar español.
00:48:38¿Y Chile?
00:48:39¿Lo conoces Chile?
00:48:40Sí.
00:48:41¿Qué parte?
00:48:42El norte.
00:48:44¿Y por cuánto tiempo? ¿Cómo fueron? ¿Cómo fue?
00:48:47Dos años nos quedamos, y ahí fuimos a la escuela.
00:48:51Era escuela primaria,
00:48:54entonces ahí nos quedamos por el grado,
00:48:58pienso que sexto y séptimo.
00:49:01¿Fue difícil?
00:49:02No, no fue tan difícil.
00:49:04¿Y hicieron amigos?
00:49:05Sí, sí, hicimos muchos amigos.
00:49:08¿Y alguna vez se imaginan volviendo a vivir en Chile,
00:49:11o se sienten muy descolorados?
00:49:13Sí, si voy a vivir en un lugar, va a ser los Estados Unidos,
00:49:16pero será un día puedo ir a visitar
00:49:19para ver cómo el sur y viajar un poco ahí.
00:49:26¿Tienen buenos coches ahí afuera?
00:49:27Sí.
00:49:28¿Cómo llegaste a la colección de coches?
00:49:30Nuestro padre.
00:49:31¿Tu padre quiere coches?
00:49:32Sí.
00:49:33¿Sabes cómo trabajar con ellos también?
00:49:34Sí, lo sé.
00:49:47¿Siempre van coleccionando más y más autos?
00:49:50Sí, de los grandes y de los chicos.
00:49:53¿El hobby de papá convirtió en el hobby de los niños?
00:49:56Sí.
00:50:03Esta es como mi zona de confort.
00:50:16Si tú te das cuenta, aquí el Bob tiene su naricita ahí expuesta.
00:50:21Les digo a las mujeres, en particular,
00:50:24si alguien las quiere atacar y está en peligro su vida,
00:50:27una de las cosas más frágiles son la nariz.
00:50:31Entonces, no tiene ni siquiera que saber pegar un puño,
00:50:35pegas ahí nomás, hasta con la mano abierta.
00:50:39Y listo.
00:50:40Entonces, te sales arrancando si eres una mujer.
00:50:44Por ejemplo, si tú vienes acá.
00:50:47Y depende de qué me quieres hacer tú.
00:50:50Si tú me quieres atacar.
00:50:51Yo te voy a agarrar.
00:50:52Por ejemplo, me quieres agarrar ahí.
00:50:54Me tienes.
00:50:55No voy a estar haciendo una patada en la cara.
00:50:57¿No es cierto?
00:51:00Ahí.
00:51:02Se alcanza.
00:51:03Se alcanza.
00:51:04No que lo he intentado, pero se alcanza.
00:51:05Entonces, alguien te está ahí.
00:51:08Alguien te agarra y si quieres hacer algo, te boto.
00:51:12Y te tiras al millazo.
00:51:16Y después te tiro para atrás.
00:51:19Y te quedas.
00:51:31Pero cuando tú te metiste en Kung Fu, ¿no fue por eso?
00:51:35No, fue porque mi papá, de casualidad,
00:51:38se encontró con un profesor.
00:51:40Y él lo invitó a que yo participara en clase.
00:51:43Y eso fue en Chile.
00:51:44Sí.
00:51:45Y acá te fuiste especializando.
00:51:47Sí.
00:51:48¿Y has vuelto a Chile a dar clases también?
00:51:51Sí.
00:51:52¿O especializaste?
00:51:53A sacar mi representación.
00:51:59Hice la prueba ante la Dirección General de Movilización Nacional.
00:52:03Y salí representante de Shaolin Kung Fu.
00:52:07Yo soy la única representante mujer de ese estilo.
00:52:15¿Qué opinan tus hijos?
00:52:16Yo sé que se sienten orgullosos de mí.
00:52:18Yo sé que sí, porque, de hecho,
00:52:20esto es lo que hemos hecho toda la vida.
00:52:36While I'm talking,
00:52:38you might be looking.
00:52:40While I'm talking,
00:52:42you don't really care what you say.
00:52:45You got things to do and bills to pay.
00:52:47While I'm talking,
00:52:49while I'm talking.
00:52:55Qué tranquilidad.
00:52:56No tenía esa vida en Denver acá.
00:52:59No.
00:53:00No.
00:53:01Fort Collin es súper lindo.
00:53:04La gente es súper amable.
00:53:07Tiene todo lo bueno de la ciudad.
00:53:10Pero evitando el tráfico,
00:53:13la locura, el crimen,
00:53:16es como mucho más tranquilo.
00:53:19Y no, a mí me encanta.
00:53:28¿Y cómo fue esa vuelta a Chile?
00:53:32En ese tiempo fue buena.
00:53:35Fue en el 2015.
00:53:37Estaba todo tranquilo, relativamente como yo.
00:53:40Me acordaba de Chile.
00:53:42Estuve hasta el 2017, 2018.
00:53:46¿Cómo convenciste a tu marido que fuera a Chile?
00:53:50¿Qué hicieron con la casa?
00:53:52La vendimos.
00:53:53¿Vendieron la casa?
00:53:55Sí, vendimos la casa.
00:53:56¿Y cómo le convenciste?
00:53:58Con bastante paciencia y perseverancia.
00:54:00Creo que es una de mis características.
00:54:02Yo le dije que quería ir a Chile
00:54:04para que los niños experimentaran la educación de allá.
00:54:08Y él me dijo, mira, todavía es muy pronto,
00:54:11pero si en 5 años tú todavía piensas lo mismo,
00:54:14ok, lo vamos a hacer.
00:54:16Yo creo que él lo dijo pensando que yo no lo iba a hacer.
00:54:20Y yo esperé, esperé, esperé, y pasaron los 5 años
00:54:23y le dije, no he cambiado de opinión.
00:54:26Ok, yo te di mi palabra de honor.
00:54:30Porque él es como bien de su palabra.
00:54:32Así que empezamos los trámites, empezamos a hacer todo,
00:54:35poner todo en un container, todas las cosas de la casa,
00:54:38y poner la casa en venta.
00:54:43Yo me imagino que tus hijos fueron para allá
00:54:47100% gringos.
00:54:49¿Fue un choque cultural para ellos?
00:54:51Sí, fue un choque super fuerte para los niños.
00:54:54Al menos estaban como relativamente niños todavía.
00:54:58Tenían 10 y 12 años.
00:55:01¿Fue una decisión de mamá?
00:55:03¿Fue una decisión interna tuya,
00:55:05que tenía que volver a encontrarte con tus raíces?
00:55:08Sí, fue una decisión interna y fue un proceso largo
00:55:14porque me empecé a dar cuenta que me estaba deprimiendo,
00:55:19que mis hijos realmente no tenían como un nexo
00:55:23de lo que era ser chileno,
00:55:27de lo que era tener una mamá chilena.
00:55:29Uno escucha cosas, ve la televisión,
00:55:31pero no es lo mismo vivirlo.
00:55:33Entonces me estaba deprimiendo eso
00:55:36y yo sentí que en beneficio, no tanto de ellos,
00:55:41sino también mío, que mis hijos sintieran eso
00:55:44y exploraran y vivieran lo que era la educación chilena,
00:55:47lo que era el mundo chileno,
00:55:50que me iba a ayudar y que los iba a ayudar a ellos
00:55:53también en su vida a lo largo.
00:55:55¿Hubo choque cultural para ti el primer mes?
00:55:59A uno le cuesta porque ya también se acostumbra al modo de aquí.
00:56:03De hecho, me tomó por lo menos uno o dos meses
00:56:06acostumbrarme a no decir,
00:56:08excuse me, I'm sorry, porque a veces...
00:56:11Sobrepolite, right?
00:56:13Claro. Igual a uno le cuesta estar fuera de su país.
00:56:16Es como...
00:56:18Igual hay cosas que tú siempre tienes apegos de tu país.
00:56:21Están las caseras, están las vecinas,
00:56:23todo es igual, es otra relación.
00:56:26Yo percibo que tú eras una mamá,
00:56:30antes de ser una de las mujeres más expertas en kung fu,
00:56:35en Chile, en Estados Unidos,
00:56:37eras una mamá fuerte.
00:56:39Tomaste la decisión de dejar las raíces que hiciste con tu marido,
00:56:44las raíces que hiciste con tus hijos,
00:56:46para asegurar que tus hijos también se sintieran chileno.
00:56:50¿En qué momento tú crees que tus hijos van a darse cuenta
00:56:55del esfuerzo que tú has dado por ellos?
00:56:58Yo pienso que va a ser probablemente
00:57:01cuando lleguen a los 30, 40 años, no antes.
00:57:05Soy bien consciente de los procesos mentales de maduración
00:57:09y también tengo una memoria de mis recuerdos
00:57:12de cómo yo era a los 20, 30, 40 años.
00:57:15Y uno a veces no es muy agradecido al principio
00:57:17de todos los esfuerzos que hacen tus padres.
00:57:19Por ejemplo, a mí me costó entender
00:57:21lo que hicieron mis papás por mí.
00:57:23Y, de hecho, mucho de lo que yo soy es por mis papás también,
00:57:26por la educación que me dieron,
00:57:28por los conocimientos, por la fuerza
00:57:30y la cercanía que tenemos como clan.
00:57:34Por eso también me los traje a ellos.
00:57:36Y ese mismo concepto,
00:57:38yo sé que se los estoy traspasando a mis hijos.
00:57:50Pamelo, yo te felicito porque partimos el día,
00:57:56partimos nuestra amistad viendo tu fuerza física,
00:58:00tu fuerza de disciplina, tu fuerza de instructora.
00:58:04Pero siento que conocí tu fuerza interna,
00:58:07tu fuerza como mamá.
00:58:09Yo elegí una mamá chilena para mi hijo también.
00:58:16Y yo creo por lo mismo que tu marido te elegió a ti.
00:58:20Y lo que tú compartiste, lo que siente tu marido por ti,
00:58:26yo lo aprecio de mi mujer.
00:58:28Hermoso lo que tienes y lo que has hecho acá.
00:58:33Tú eres un aporte a este estado, a esta ciudad
00:58:37y al país donde nací.
00:58:39Gracias, gracias.
00:58:41Ay, te pasaste, gracias.
00:58:45Thank you for everything, my friends.
00:59:05Tres Chavales nos lo dejan todo
00:59:07por llegar a ser los mejores del mundo.
00:59:11No hay una opción
00:59:13donde yo no cumplo mi deseo de vida en mi vida.
00:59:19Estaba en Chile, fue uno de los mejores.
00:59:21Llegando acá, perdía todo, empezaba de cero.
00:59:27Es el circo más importante del mundo.
00:59:31¿Por qué da fama? ¿Por qué es número uno?
00:59:33¿Quién cree que es el número dos? ¿Uguerita es el número dos?
00:59:37¿Uguerita es el número dos?
00:59:45Hoy en día puedo decir que estoy jugando
00:59:47en el mejor equipo del mundo.
00:59:49¡Arrancate, arrancate, arrancate!
00:59:51¡Vamo' a Inter, vamo'!
