In Process Record.
Originally produced by Les Blank Films in 1973.
More than an anthropological documentary, this rare, beautifully made record of the Volador ritual as performed by the Totonac Indians of Huehuetla, Puebla, Mexico, brings alive the mythic dimensions of ritual communal celebration. The Voladores (Flyers) ritual dates back to 500 A.D. The soundtrack consists of flute and drum music, with narration taken from 15th century Nahuatl poetry.
