NEW YORK VIEW
An absorbing look at the Zapotecas of Juchitán, one of Mexico’s few surviving indigenous peoples and a culture with an uncommonly strong matriarchal structure. Director Maureen Gosling knows to let her camera’s impressions do most of the talking: Instead of the usual endless array of talking heads, we get a truly immersive peek into the lives of these unique people.
CINEMASOURCE SYNOPSIS
A portrait of the unique, non-patriarchal culture within the Mexican city Juchitan. In Juchitan, societal roles are not classified in terms of sex, and women, men and transgendered people enjoy equal rights.
