Much'Tal Jedz/When We Speak, We Do So Only Once
(2009, 35 min.) MEXICO
Director: Byrt Wammack

Based on recent and historical events, this experimental work tells the story of a Yucatec Maya community terrorized by a series of mysterious deaths. The villagers’ efforts to put a stop to it lead them to a famous archaeologist and, eventually, to an unexpected solution.
