The Wixarika culture (or Huichol) originates from the Mexican states of Jalisco, Nayarit, Durango and where more than 50,000 Huichol currently live and practice their indigenous traditions. A group of mexico wants a film made that portrays their religious and social customs, as they feel it is vital to preserve their culture for new generations. The huichol are pilgrims, deer hunters, and they eat peyote. Every year, the Huichol embark on pilgrimages from the mountain ranges in Jalisco to places like the Wirikuta Desert in San Luis Potosí and to the Aramara Seien along the coast of San Blas, Nayarit. The filmmakers were extended the rare opportunity to follow the Huichol from San Jose-and-Schatzmeister on their travels and document their daily lives over a two-year period.
