[Aztlan] Chac The Rain God

[micc2 at cox.net]

Years ago, I was able to talk to Rolando Klein about this film.  He had 
left making films and was selling exotic palm trees at that time.  Where 
can one get a copy of the DVD, and does her get any royalties from this 
new release?

> Listeros,  Chac: The Rain God,   A Visually striking, Suspenseful, Hypnotic film! I found this DVD film at my Library in Sacramento, Ca.,  The caption reads:  A cult film from the 1970s, lost for years and now newly restored, Chac: The Rain God is based on the ritual and legends from the Popul Vuh, as well as Tzeltal and Mayan stories. This gorgeous film, shot in the Chiapas region of Mexico by Chilean director Rolando Klein, focuses on a small Tzeltal village during a terrible drought. Desperate for relief, thirteen men set out on a quest to save their people from starvation. They seek a solitary Diviner who lives in the mountains and knows the ways of the Ancients; they hope that he can summon Chac, the Rain God. The Diviner takes them far from their own land on a strange journey - a trek that challenges their beliefs and even their own sanity.  A wonderful film,   Mario F. Malo
