Description: Offers an intimate portrait of everyday life in one Mam Indian village called Todos Santos Cuchumatan, nestled in a valley of the Cuchumatanes mountains of Guatemala at an altitude of nearly 9,000 feet above sea level. Documents the annual sequence of harvest, the elaborate fiesta of Todos Santos and the mass seasonal migration out of the mountain village to work in the cotton plantations of Guatemala's hot and humid lowlands.
