Ch'ul Be, Sacred Path
Ch’ul be delves into the Tsotsil sacred path, exploring ancient collective commitments that sustain the cycle of life in community. In San Andres Larrainzar, everyone is responsible for the collective well-being, but few are chosen to follow the path of serving the gods. ‘Ch’ul be’ is the path of Martha and Diego, and of Román and his son Tino. It is a journey from the everyday to the divine, from the individual to the collective, to ensure knowledge is not lost and the cycle is not broken.
This film is part of a double bill with Heli, by Poshali Goel.
