- Synopsis
- 200 years after the creation of the Mexican State, a group of Masewal people reflect on the current situation of the native peoples, their customs, their language, their worldview. They talk about discrimination and oppression; about the meaning of autonomy and decolonization. Meanwhile, as an ode to the present and the past of the indigenous culture in Mexico, we watch the crop year and its fruits, the street markets and the harvest, and even some saints, dances, celebrations and pilgrimages.*20 min film excerpt, contact the producer if you want to see more.
