One Month


The $50 million film opens next month and uses an entirely indigenous Mexican cast and crew to examine the decline of the Mayan civilization 600 years ago through the story of one village destroyed by another tribe.Filmed in Veracruz, Mexico, the film is in the Mayan Yucatec language and, though Mayan scholars are reserving judgment, it is likely to attract cinemagoers eager to learn more about the ancient people.The Mayan civilization died out hundreds of years ago, but interest in the people and customs continues, with thousands of tourists visiting the cities, pyramids, kingdoms and temples that survive in the forests of Mexico and Central America each year.
