The Mexicans. Through Their Eyes

Description

Guiding viewers through a rich mosaic of history and culture, this program evokes the complexities of Mexico as experienced by its own people. The nation's indigenous and Spanish roots are both explored through nuanced discussions of iconic cultural elements-for example, viewers learn how the Day of the Dead reflects the national character by merging Catholic and pre-Columbian traditions. Meanwhile, a look at Mexico's modern urban landscape reveals a unique dynamic of politics, art, and commerce. The perspectives of Mexican citizens from all backgrounds and walks of life infuse the program in a manner that can only be described as a traves de sus ojos-through their eyes.
