BLOSSOMS OF FIRE, an award-winning feature documentary, is a dazzling, whirling dance of a film that celebrates the extraordinary lives of the Isthmus Zapotecs of southern Oaxaca, Mexico, whose strong work ethic and fierce independent streak rooted in their culture, have resulted not only in powerful women but also in the region's progressive politics and their unusual tolerance of alternative gender roles. These strong women have inspired artists and writers, from Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, to Miguel Covarrubias.

Broadcast on HBO Latino, Spanish TV, Swedish TV

    Can we move Juchitan to USA? I guess not... I am in love with Juchitan and I will go very soon. My next vacations will be in the beautiful city of Juchitan.

    Just finished watching this documentary on Netflix and I loved it. The "modern" Mexican culture is believed to be a patriarchal society like many other "Western" base cultures, but this is due to the colonization and influence of the Hispanics (spaniards) onto our Native 'indigenous' cultures. We need to go back to our roots and reclaim our identity and true cultural heritage, not the "mestizo" culture.
