Kuxlejal
40m
"Kuxlejal" means "Life" in the Tsotsil language, and Life and how to feel alive so as not to die, is the subject of this documentary that for the first time makes visible and thematizes the high rates of suicide among the youth of the native peoples. It is they who tell us in the first person their stories that unfold in a violently complex environment. The center of the film is the search for its own identity between its ancestral roots and the desire and need to be part of globalized modernity.
