Mexico and the Mexican Indian A series of six films
Over 400 years after the Spanish conquest of Mexico, much of the Indian tradition survives. There are still over three million Indians living in Mexico. Many still speak their ancient languages - cling to their old traditions, and worship the old gods. These are the descendants of the Indians who created the civilisations of Middle America -the Aztec, the Mava. the Totonae, the Zapotec. the Mixtec and the Olmec. Civilisations whose pyramids. temples and lost cities rise from the plains or lie almost submerged in tropical rain forests. Narrated by IAN HOLM
