I can't believe this was published since 2013 and I now seeing it for the first time. This deserves greater air play on local programming!!! Excellent work and kudos to all involved.
Me. Too lol
Facts me and all
I did see it long time and I now coming back
@@chrisxplays8568 😅
Seeing this for the first time. Excellent, good story line
⁰
Lol
This is perhaps the most GENUINE, the most REAL and well acted vignette that I have EVER had the pleasure to see coming out of Trinidad. The acting was superb, the characters were true to form and the story line was captured as if real life were unfolding in real time as it actually transpired and unfolded right before our very eyes. Well done and a hearty congratulations and thank you to ALL involved!
+porkulate thanks so much for that - much appreciated!
I agree I really enjoyed watching it and would like too watch more of ur work🙏🏿💪🏿🤟🏿✌🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

Thanks a lot! The way that the characters speak was really important to me and I'm glad that you liked it!
So 7years ago and I’m now seeing this video. This a continuing story please what happens next? 🤍 take care. Good job and May God bless you. Aameen
@@adha2870 me to inno
Ah even shed ah lil tear to inno 💘💘💘💘
Why he holding the bara with bare hands
Then they hold money
love this film , well put together , with top of the line acting, big up to Trinidad
+SouFLoTV @ TH-cam thanks so much! We're trying to bring Trini culture to the world.
iankh as a Jamaican, i bring Trini culture to the world myself. My life experience in Europe, and the USA, has been that ive made life long friends with some of the most genuine people in life, and they are TRINI,
Ahhh.👍
Love love love this film. Great job.
@@vitraroopnarine8082 👍
Excellent work. I'd like to see more films with Guyanese & Trinidadian Indians featured in it. Their culture needs to be put out their for all to see and appreciate.
Gre Washington thanks a lot! That's one of the things we'll always do is push the culture! Lots of stories to be told too.
@Gre Washington. Really. Then you Don't Know Trinidad. Stay wey you is.
Agree wholeheartedly. I am sooo tired of these overpaid, overrated, overcompensating movies with below average acting using huge explosive scenes to overshadow the crappiness of the movie. I feel like, c'mon inspire me for god sakes!
This is truly a masterpiece displaying culture, reality, family relationship issues and love. Well done!
Mmmmmmmmm
This displays the culture 100%. Tobago locals tell me they want to go and live in England and America because they think its nicer and easier out there. but that isn't the case its a lot tougher out here than T&T and not to mention the cold! Starting a business in the uk has so many rules and regulations and costs so much money to start up a small business
same
Im proud to say this kind of talent is from Trinidad
7 years ago and I now seeing this, where was this it's truly amazing, it captivated me had me guessing what would happen next. I could feel my emotions at my throat ready to cry...... There is still a doubles man on a bike in California now he does park up by the Chinese supermarket and sell.
I know right!
7 years and I now seeing this lol
Which Place or City in California?
@@5849_Nearl Trinidad West Indies in the Caribbean
Respect from Guyana
I wish it was longer! 🇹🇹 Trini2dehbone
Longer go drain yuh
I never knew we made good shorts. This was excellent.
This film speaks to me, in almost every way possible.
How? You Black.
@@christineknight7299 black ppl does sell and eat doubles too.
Not to mention doubles is trini culture🤷🏾♀️
I really enjoyed watching this, it was a good snapshot of a Trinidad family. Watching this 10 years too late and it made me realize I haven't seen a man selling doubles on a bike in a LONG time.
I am black American female living in Los Angeles California, This short film caught my attention and it is very good. Never a boring minute of watching it. It touched my heart and I actually teared up. Very good acting, 100 percent. good actors. I really enjoyed watching it. Much respect to Doubles With Slight Pepper. 100 percent Trinidad. I loved the Film 💗💗💗💗
Glad you love Trini ..we simple ppl...
Totally enjoyed it
a story to make me realize that don`t matter what happens we always remain family ,a story to make me want to forgive my parents after all we are not perfect ,what a beautiful short film
Very gd well put together I love it👍👍👍
I am amazed and astounded by how tremendously well done this short is. I am a huge fan of film, and everything from the scripting to the acting felt so natural and realistic (which is really hard to do when "talkin trini"). The story was engaging and the pacing was perfect. I never felt once to take it off or pause and watch it later. It was a spectacular effort and I have it plastered all over my social media channels. And my friends are saying the same. Very, very well done, I hope to see more of this (or others like it on the same level) in the future. Best short ever period!
Thanks a lot for such high praise! And really, thanks for sharing with your friends and spreading the word. We are busy trying to make it into a feature film, so any support helps. Even liking the video, or liking us on facebook (in the video description) really helps!! Thanks again!
Really on point
I always return home from travels to a doubles with medium pepper! Long Live Doubles!
Excellent seeing doubles vendor on bike just brought back nice memories good old daysno crime no fear just happy happy life
This short film is truly a testament to the endless talent and how easily we could take our culture and produce an amazing and captivating story. I'm not in anyway involved in film in Trinidad but this certainly inspires views to become apart of it. I could only imagine the hard work that went into this project.From the first scene this short film had me wanting more. I'm only 15 and I own a nikon D3200 and seeing this just inspires me to do something... go to a filmography class or something to gain knowledge about this art form. But as i said before congrats on this short film... hope there's more where that came from!!
thanks for saying all of the nice words! I beg you to take your camera and tell the stories you want to tell - the world needs to see them!
If there anything close to what you have done i'll be very pleased... But we'll see in the future what happens cause i am in form 4 this term, and sports take up most of my time so i have to really manage my time if i wanna do anything of substantial value to anyone. But probably i could put together a small family film;if i could call it that. I do have a photography page on fb if yu wanna see.. facebook.com/Keagansimmonsphotography?ref=br_rs ... Will be grateful if yu get time to look at it. :)
Thanks! We waving the flag all over the world.
I just can't believe I'm now seeing this. I'm still in awe, what a splendid masterpiece. Well put together. Wowzy wow💯💯💯
This film is so beautiful. Thank you for depicting T&T in such an authentic way.
Season greetings to all the Trinis that came across this artistry creative thought.
Natural and reminiscent. Brought to mind my father, my mother and my step-mother. All beautiful souls, long gone and terribly missed. Thank you.
My parents emigrated to the US and did send for us. i am thankful for the opportunities they gave us - i am doing and have done things i am sure i would not have been able to do if i finished school in T&T and began a family & worklife there. But who knows? i see the negative impact it has had on my family. Oh yeah, great film. It is truly universal and captures the pain of oppressed peoples.
Sure is good to see a film that isnt just about bandits 🤣🤣🇹🇹🇹🇹 excellent short film. Acting was on point
What a lovely film. It demonstrates the strength of family connectedness and goes deep inside the sensibilities of this young man's unhappy mind. His deep duty to his mother and protective instinct towards her; demonstrated in pushing his father away from touching his mother.
The actors ,writer , producer/ director of this film should be highly commended .
First off I never knew this road to ever be so well paved! Its like a jigsaw puzzle with holes ahaha.. great story!
Had a tough time believing this was locally made
Marvin, did you see director Spike Lee was involved with making this movie?
Believe it! With some basic film equipment this good short film are possible.
2021.. i watch this every year... Beautiful!
I LOVE YOU IAN HARNARINE
As a Third Generation Son of a Doubles making/selling family ... i enjoyed this.
glad to hear that. Keep making the doubles strong!
Honestly best movie i saw whole year....
wawwww!! This is delicious. I watched this with so much delight, pride and thankfulness. Thank you, thank you so much Iankh. The story, the acting and the editing is a brilliant piece of art. For me this is the definition of entertaining and engaging, and extremely relatable. It felt smooth, natural and not forced. I thoroughly enjoyed this because it didn't feel like a story of bacchanal for the sake of ratings, like majority of the shows today. I truly desire, hope and pray that we have more of these from our country and cultures. I watched it several times and forwarded it to others. More more more please. YES.
Thanks Camille - we are working on more films always and appreciate the support!
@@iankh continued blessings on those ventures King.
Damn. I see my whole generation before me. This is a beautiful film. The producer can do movies. Good job....
Thank you...i always love Local shows
Excellent ..Back home lovwe it
Spike Lee involvement in our local culture is a genuine collaboration and judging from this film although being short it was well done , I wish for more films of this nature to be embraced nationally instead of foreign shows that portray no reality to tnt's life and culture
I loved it, I watched several times, but it needs a conclusion.
Thanks. There's so many stories to be told about Trinidad!
How did this end up in my feed? Than God it did!!!!
Memories of TNT & a well done film!!
I really, really loved this. Brought a tear to my eye. Beautifully shot and directed. I'm happy to see Trini producing quality and artistic work. Looking forward to more - Trini in NY.
Yes, that is the father from Harold Kumar. Errol Sitahal is probably one of the greatest actors of our time - SERIOUSLY! He just doesn't get the opportunity to show it all the time!!
Thanks Vicky for sharing it. The more people that get to see it, the better it is. It's so amazing to know that people like it so much.
Thanks Ric! I'm really lucky to have worked with an amazing group of actors and talented crew to make it all happen.
I saw this a few years ago and appreciated the quality of story and simple production and the trini class this family is depicted. Today watching it again, of course I have the urge to go and buy some doubles with slight pepper buy also love it again.
Simple,Trinidadian and beautiful
Yeah, man! Trying to show Trinidad (and the Caribbean) and the people in a way that a lot of people haven't seen it!
7 yrs ago and we in 2021 I now seeing this it's amazing
This was a whole emotional rollercoaster and I love it
absolutely fell in love with this Short makes me proud to be a Trinidadian and inspires me to do shorts in our culture
This seriously needs more recognition!!
Thank you for this 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
Brilliant! Brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for producing this film!
great short film reminds me so much of back home, i only wish Trinidad hadn't changed so much.
Thanks for watching James. Like it or not, Trinidad has definitely changed over the years. I've got great hope for the country in the future!
What about blessed is the Child that have his own stop fighting your perents and get your own 🤠💞
Thank you Luke. That is some very high praise!!! Keep your eye out, there's going to be some amazing films coming out of Trinidad real soon!
Super under rated! One of Trinidad's best films.
This is the best local production i have ever seen, good writing good acting. maek more!

Absolutely and totally agree. Bring out the talent T&T. You have what it takes.
Big 2021 and I now seeing this. This was really good
Excellent portrayal of emotions - love the music & dancing.💃🏾🎶🎵
A Spike Lee Joint of course! Beautiful through and through....our pain is similar but so are our opportunities!!
I truly enjoyed watching this short film. It's very powerful and well acted, and has a great story line. Brilliant.
True artistic work and well cultured....love from 🇬🇾
Dis ting from 7 years ago and I now seeing it? Lol. Wow guys, I loved it. That young man was really believable! I even teared up at the end. Well done! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Very underrated video which deserve more recognition.
Finally seeing this after 7 years
Beautiful short film. For those who love doubles and Trinidad this is bittersweet...the joy of opening a hot, fresh doubles at 3 am at Curepe Junction, surrounded by the squalor of urban discontent all set in the raging aftermath of post-colonial disenfranchisement...I love the brutal truth none can deny....we are all descended from stupid coolies, promised a better life, but trapped and destined to live under the bondage of our ancestors mistakes...
Excellent Excellent We want more!!!!!!
It’s 2020 and why did I just discovered this. Epic, Totally Awesome.
THIS MOVIE RANKS WITH HOLLYWOOD, BOLLYWOOD AND NOLLYWOOD. ITS TIME WE HAVE A TRINIWOOD
Beautiful storyline brought back a lot of memories
What a great little show.

2020 and it still best big up trini
What a great film Ian, you make me very proud to be a Trini. We need more from you!!
THIS IS AMAZING. WILL SHOW TO EVERY TRINI I KNOW. MUCH LOVE ALLYUH.
I'm glad this was in my recommendations... I love my country yess 💖

Thank you for the views!
probably the first local short film I've seen that i can honestly call 'outstanding'
Excellent short film. 3 stars.
i am so very proud to say that i am a personal Friend of Sanjiv(Dhani).. this film was really well done.. Kudos to you Sanjiv and the entire Cast and Crew, directors and producers... looking forward to more work from you guys!!
Excellent short film. Everything about it felt so authentic. Kudos to the writer, producer and actors.
Man that is real real skill. Bring on some more for 2021..trust me you will have real support
OMG. I LOVE❤ this short film. Great acting all around. Rich culture. I know the actress work. So brillant. Very proud.👏
This needs more recognition 🗣️
This is an example of Trinidad's great talent, so many caribbean people can relate to this short story ranging from cleaners to clerks whom left the region for a better life in Western countries and still did not gain economic growth. But yet when the elite Westerners migrate to our region, they live in the best areas, and some even get government support to established their business(es) that still marginalized our people when they work for the developers.
Love this . Very touching story. Please make more films .
Incredible! Cannes Festival worthy!
This was the best movie. Genuine and heartfelt. The ending was sad.
This is amazing....the actors deserve a lot of credit for their performance...hope to see more of your work
I see this on TV last year....and in the end he father died....this hit rhell hard and always ah good lil mini movie
Cannot believe TH-cam has now recommended this to me! This was an amazing short film. Beautifully written, acted, and organized. As a Trinidadian, I am SO proud. I would have been 14 when this came out, but I know I would have still loved it. Absolutely beautiful!
Totally agree. it was so well done.
this really brings back memories of old trinidad
Thanks Rajkumar! We're going to shoot the feature film next year. So I'll definitely looking for your support when it comes out!!
Did you guys ever? If not pandemic or not this needs to be completed
