Director Statement

Mazocahui, is a town in Sonora. It means "Mountain Range Deer" in the native language of that place. A beautiful stay, located in the Northwest of Mexico. On the other hand, Mazoyiwua means "Deer Dance" in the indigenous language of the Yaqui tribe of this same State of Sonora. As the native director of this region, I decided to merge one of the oldest folk ballets of the American continent in this magical territory. Each sequence of images represents the essence of our ancestors. And each musical sound and original song of the Yaqui tribe for this film, exalts the life that they have left us.
