Huicholes: Last Peyote Guardians
Dir. Hernán Vilchez

Spanish and Original Languages with English Subtitles
The Wixarika People are one of the last existing pre-Hispanic cultures in nowadays Latin America. They struggle for the preservation of their most sacred territory, Wirikuta. These sacred lands are crucial for the cultural identity of the Wixarika people and their spiritual practices, as it is the location where Peyote grows, the traditional medicine that keeps the knowledge of this indigenous culture alive. Now they are facing existential threats due to mining concessions issued by the Mexican government and carried out by transnational mining companies.
