The Spanish Conquest of the Aztec Empire has not stopped a remote Mexican village from annually performing a war dance to God. Unfortunately, because of the high rate of immigration of young Zapotec men to the United States, one of the most important indigenous festivals practiced in the central valley of Oaxaca, Mexico could be in serious danger of fading out to the next generation just because Zapotec men now live in the U.S.A.

(Many of the dancers from this film no longer live in Teotitlan del Valle, Mexico. They have immigrated in search for work to the United States!)
