Eight tales based on the most brutally terrifying Mexican traditions and legends, an anthology of haunting stories woven into the fabric of the Mexican culture, some told through the centuries and some new, but all equally frightening. Bogeymen, trolls, ghosts, monsters, all brought to life. Time for Aztec sacrifices. This is the Day of the Dead.

This short documentary tells the story of an indigenous leader, Carolina Barbaran Reategui, Chief of the Native Community of Calleria, who fights to protect the communal forests of the Calleria River from the greed of illegal loggers, also facing the sexist views of the community members that create barriers to her work.
