Description 1 online resource (55 min.)
Series Disappearing world
Summary The documentary shows how Cakchiquel Maya of a village on Lake Atitlan in Guatemala adapted to recent changes. It emerges that the lake has become a favoured spot for holiday homes and that the village has been subject to streams of tourists in the last decades. The filmmakers, while they are officially welcomed and given permission to film, in practice many people hid their faces, would not co-operate and even threw stones. The film team tried to find an explanation of the Maya hostility to the camera
