It follows the resistance to modernization in rural Mexico. It is a reminder that it is still possible to live in tune with our essence as human beings.
A survey of rural Mexico composed into an extraordinary collage of labor practices and vast landscapes, Gods of Mexico portrays the rich diversity of several communities of Native Peoples and Afro-descendants throughout the country. It is both a testament to the human being and a tribute to those who fight to preserve their cultural identity. The viewer explores a "Lost Atlantis" in which unlimited possibilities of existence continue to resist in the shadows of modernization.
Critica
— Dosantos transports audiences through salt pans, deserts, highlands, jungle, and underground mines, in both richly saturated color and black-and-white melodic interludes. VARIETY — The requisite problematic film, Gods of Mexico, whose spectacular tableaux of Indigenous people feel inextricable from century-old traditions of ethnographic gazes. ARTFORUM — Dioses de México, la importancia de preservar la memoria. IMCINE — This documentary speaks to the fascinating nature of the human experience. VOX — Una cinta impresionante que deja claro que los Dioses de México son tradición y costumbres, son alma y espíritu, y sobre todo, un legado invaluable. BOGART MAGAZINE
