Synopsis:
“Gods of Mexico” delves into the rich diversity of Native Peoples and Afro-descendants deep into the heart of rural Mexico. It is both a testament to the human being and a tribute to those who fight to preserve their cultural identity: a “Lost Atlantis” in which unlimited possibilities of existence continue to resist in the shadows of modernization.
