“Shot with energy and verve … Duncan Bridgeman’s exhilarating and illuminating documentary is a fascinating glimpse into how Mexicans view themselves.”

Mark Adams, Screen Daily

This vibrant, uplifting, and highly musical 2012 documentary beautifully portrays the richness and complexity of Mexican arts, culture, and identity, using the country’s lively folk, pop, rock, and rap traditions as a driving force. Set against breathtaking landscapes and featuring a stellar soundtrack—including upcoming Chan Centre performer Lila Downs—the film takes you on a journey to the heart of a country filled with poignant customs, thrilling artistry, and innovative creative collaborations. With Diego Luna, Rubén Albarrán, Alejandro Fernández, Carla Morrison, and Kinky.
