Le Mexique - Ciné conférence

MEXICO From the Mayans to the Great Open Spaces A film directed and presented by Alain Poujade Mexico is both a modern, emerging country focused on tourism, and above all a nation deeply attached to its roots and traditions. At the crossroads between Latin America and North America, this country of contrasts stands out in particular for the warm welcome offered by its many Indigenous communities. The southern part of the country takes audiences back to ancient times and to its civilizations — sometimes cruel, warlike and deeply spiritual — which built countless pyramids dedicated to their gods, each one taller and more majestic than the last. Under a tropical climate, the descendants of these courageous warriors now strive to make a living from their ancestral crafts, but these Indigenous communities still struggle to find their place in the globalised economy. The centre of the country, beyond its vast and bustling capital, is home to many magnificent Hispanic cities. The north represents the paradoxical face of Mexico. On one side, a proud, courageous and Latin world… on the other, immense territories where lifestyles are much closer to those of the United States, Mexico’s eternal friend and rival. This documentary offers another way of discovering Mexico, through images, personal stories and encounters.
