Once a year Mexico undergoes a transformation. From
the remote islands of Michoacan to Mexico City, people busily prepare for
a centuries old celebration known as El Dia de los Muertos, the Day of the
Dead.
The Day of the Dead celebrations in Mexico are
perhaps one of the most bizarre and spectacular events one can be witness
to. From its Native American origins to the transformation that the
country undergoes in the days preceding the celebration, this film will
reveal to audiences around the world the roots and the evolution of the
ways the people of Mexico celebrate their dead.
In their own words, locals will take us through
their days of preparation and through the two days of festivities
known as All Saints Day and All Souls Day, collectively known as the Day
of the Dead celebration.
From the colorful costumes and masks to the
preparation of the Pan de Muerte, The Day of the Dead is the most unique,
cinematic and haunting account of this most unusual event.
