The ancient Mayas believed that the world would end after 5125 years, but how exactly did they envision it happening? Six young Mayas provide the answers in this month’s Cinema Politica feature, Heart of Sky, Heart of Earth. Filmed over several years in Guatemala and Chiapas, the documentary focuses on the daily lives of Flori, Chan K’in, Felipe, Chepita, and Jerónimo, and their efforts to prevent the destruction of their culture and environment. Special guest speakers will be present at the screening.
