Narrated by ​Damián Alcázar (Narcos), this expressive documentary explores the phenomenon of the fastest trending alcohol spirits in the world, Tequila and Mezcal. This journey takes us to the world’s most bio-diverse landscape of the agave plant, Mexico: here families have been passing down the tradition of distilling agave for generations; at times, even clandestinely. From the alluring red highlands of Jalisco to the rugged mountains of Oaxaca the film follows three producers in this burgeoning renaissance. From a bootstrap ambition to carrying on a father’s legacy, their successes and sacrifices unfurl in this interweaved story. Discover how one delicate plant can carry the weight of a nation and the people trying to protect it for the future. Not Rated. Directors: Matthew Riggieri, Nick Kovacic (US 2018) 79 min.
