Where are the Maya?

In eleven days and nights of February 2010, the nine members of the Narco News School of Authentic Journalism's documentary filmmaking group reported, investigated, interviewed, filmed and produced this 15:34 documentary about the descendants of the original indigenous peoples of Mexico's Yucatan peninsula where the tourist industry from Cancun to Playa del Carmen now exploits them as workers, residents and in name.

@12centuries IF people stopped going to the big hotels, it would give them no money, but they have about that much any way. People immigrate to the USA for money, and people don't realize that. The best we can do for the Maya is welcome them. If we skipped the hotels, that makes things worse for México, and we can expect more Méxicanos.

Primero les felicito por excelente documental, por mostrar lo que realmente es la explotación laboral y mostrar que México nunca ha sido de los mexicanos ,

Cuando sera la emancipación de la gente indígena?, de los verdaderos mexicanos . Continúen con el excelente trabajo.
