Still Standing Season 1 Marathon

"sometimes when i feel tired, I just watch him working at this age, and i forget that im exhausted, and i get on too" This is so beautiful. - Greek Phyllo Son.

[sucar]

These traditions don’t just showcase the beauty of mastery, but how to be a present human. All these incredible people emanate a stillness within them that I think we all want to achieve.

[mnom]

Wow, I was in tears watching Γεώργιος talk about his award from the mayor. Once COVID is a thing of the past, I’ll be booking my flight to Crete to visit his beautiful shop and hopefully meet him and his family. They are the perfect examples of the Greek spirit, continuing to do what they love despite all challenges. Beautiful

[marianwhit]

The dignity of the candlemaker is breathtaking. These stories are so wonderful, beautifully shot footage, and important lessons about what we are losing in the process of mega-corporate capture of every way of our lives.

[bankea]

The first story of the baker choked me. Idk why but it did. His dedication to his work and art is contagious as it should be.

[owenswabi]

Liked instantly after hearing the phyllo story. God bless anyone who continues tradition out of pure love for it.

[Linenohook]

Even though I cannot understand spanish I really like the candlemaker's voice. Her voice is very calming.

[bankerdave]

I admire and respect the Greek phyllo maker so much! I hope the best for him and his family! 🧡🧡🧡

[kerrypitt]

I appreciated this, I wish there was a way to support these people in their businesses.

[fivemjs]

So precious! This made me so happy and so sad at the same time. I don’t want things like this to go away.

[mightymoyan]

This is one of the best things I have ever watched.

[firstnamekaty]

The Rogan art is really cool. It reminds me of using a 3D pen.

[sheriherrick]

This was such an amazing video! All these hard working people making sure this things don't get thrown into the forgotten pile. Sharing with us how they do these hard jobs, it really is a way for us to see other cultures and how things have changed. I love these videos!

[rylangrimes]

Giorgos (the 86 year old baker) IS SO ADORABLE. I LOVE HIM 💖 He is so proud of his heritage and tradition, it’s just beautiful ❤️

[nemo]

5:25 so they really made him carry some papers and measure the door way to show that he's an engineer 😂

[Crybaby-Media]

I’d love to apprentice under any of these people. Their lives seem so full.
This series brings me to tears

[chip]

I’m totally going to buy some of the bidri art 😍 it’s gorgeous and i know my grandmother will LOVE it too. She’s and antique collector, and while these aren’t antique they’re right up her alley.

[alicecuriosityoftenleadsto]

Georgios and his family making Phyllo in Greece makes me tear up. Seeing the family carrying on such a beautiful tradition and how grateful he is to have the opportunity to do so successfully. Beautiful!
Thank you!

[DawnOldham]

With such talent, it breaks my heart to see weavers selling tomatoes instead of being able to sell their products, made with so much skill. It’s just wrong that most of the profit ends up in other’s hands.

[robynpecot-thompson]

It’s so important to keep up the traditional way of making all these different products. I recently started making things in traditional ways and it’s hard but rewarding.
