Three films about the Mayan Indians available on one DVD!
Icarus Films is proud to announce the release of three films by Olivia Carrescia on DVD. Previously available separately on VHS, TODOS SANTOS CUCHUMATAN, TODOS SANTOS: THE SURVIVORS and MAYAN VOICES: AMERICAN LIVES are now released together for the first time on one DVD under the title A MAYAN TRILOGY: LIFE, DEATH & MIGRATION.
Hailed "a must" by American Anthropologist, this collection on the Mayan Indians of Guatemala preserves a record, and provides an acute observation on how the indigenous culture has been affected by, yet survived, that country's tumultuous history. A unique and essential document!Labels: anthropology, central america, ethnology, guatemala, Immigration, latin america, mayan indians, sociology
