El Movimiento

A compelling cinematic essay about the complicated relationship of noted North American anthropologist William F. Hanks with his teacher, Don Chabo, a widely-known Yucatec Maya shaman.

"Over a decade in the making, El Movimiento [...] follows the relationship between Don Chabo, a Mayan shaman in Yucatan, and William F. Hanks, the Chicago anthropologist he improbably selected as his sole apprentice, showing how both men think, work, and dream." J. Rosenbaum - Chicago Reader
