Guatemala – Tierra maya

Guatemala is a Central American country located just south of Mexico. It is part of Latin America and has a population of 16 million, the majority of whom are of direct Mayan descent. If a few thousand years ago the Mayan civilization was one of the most powerful on the planet, natural disasters, European conquests and recent armed conflicts have given its people a hard time. Filmmakers Julie Corbeil and Ugo Monticone propose an encounter with Guatemala’s fascinating mix of cultures. A journey into a country where ancestral traditions are deeply rooted in the present.
