Abstract
The purpose of this film is to have four descendants of the Maya tell their stories and through them, explain four difficult concepts facing the 21st century contemporary Maya:
* How do Mayan languages influence a worldview different than the westernized, globalized worldview?
* How do the media, especially through movies, portray the Maya and other indigenous groups unfairly?
* How have the descendants of the Maya coped with adapting to modernity while keeping their traditions intact?
* How will the four protagonists ensure the protection of their language and their culture when they return home?
