Five hundred years after the European conquest of Mexico, the institution of the curandero, or healer, continues to survive among the indigenous Maya of the Yucatan peninsula.

The curanderos are older, respected members of Mayan society, experienced herbalists, and community leaders. They have integrated many features of Western society into their world: Christianity is an integral part of their practice, and many of them accept a role for Western medicine. Their world is vibrant, ancient and colorful, but fast disappearing.

'Healers of the Maya' is a documentary that takes the audience inside a community that most of the Western world believes to have vanished a millennium ago.
