GODS OF MEXICO is a staunchly poetic survey of rural Mexico composed of an extraordinary collage of peoples and landscapes. A testament to the tenacity of the people and a tribute to those who fight to preserve their cultural identity, this film captures Mexico's richly diverse communities of Native Peoples and Afro-descendants.

Through salt pans and coal mines, director Helmut Dosantos masterfully crafts black-and-white melodic interludes that act as transitional rites of passage. A visually stunning ethnographic portrait, GODS OF MEXICO offers a critical consideration of values and challenges the structures that breed displacement. The people of the land shall not be forgotten.
