Ch'ul be, Senda Sagrada
Ch'ul be, Sacred Path
Documentary | Mexico | 2023 | 70 min | Mayan languages
Synopsis
Ch'ul be delves into the Tzotzil sacred path, exploring ancient collective commitments that sustain the cycle of life in community. In San Andres Larráinzar, everyone is responsible for the collective well-being, but few are chosen to follow the path of serving the gods. Ch'ul be is the path of Martha and Diego, and of Román and his son, Tino. It is a journey from the everyday to the divine, from the individual to the collective, to ensure that knowledge is not lost and the cycle is not broken.
