Huicholes: The Last Peyote Guardians plot

The sad story of the Huicholes tribe, the last indigenous people in Latin America trying to preserve their pre-Hispanic culture and way of life. Their sacred habitat, the Wirikuta and the famous peyote cactus, are under threat from the Mexican government and multinational mining companies, which pollute their lands by excavating silver, gold and other commodities.
