Having lived in the Sierra Tarahumara for ten years, I can say that this is the most sensitive, authentic, portrayal of life there, among the Raramuri, that I have ever seen. The verbal communication is 100% authentic, as is the pace of the film. It doesn't surprise me that all the reviewers don't "get" this movie. I applaud the makers of this remarkable film for its complete honesty and accuracy. I don't know how they achieved the subtleties in this portrayal unless they had spent a great deal of time there. Seeing the film put me right back there. In fact I think much of it was shot near my Rancho. It makes me long to go back and be with my Raramuri friends but watching it is just like being there. This film is a look into Raramuri life without any agenda on the part of the filmmakers. Absolutely wonderful!
