FOLK HEALING AND DEATH

Each culture weaves its own set of rituals and beliefs surrounding how it approaches and makes sense of death. Death is unknowable - yet it is the one certainty that we all have in common. This documentary questions what impact beliefs surrounding death have on the way in which an individual chooses to live. It captures and portrays the visually the rich and diverse cultural tapestry that Mexicans have woven around death as a rite of passage and offers a soulful insight into the Mexican curanderismo tradition.
