[Aztlan] Chac The Rain God

[Bertrand Lobjois]

About Maya gods, have a look on Claude Baudez's publication in the

Mexicana edition. According to him, the Mayas didn't have gods but deities
or divine creatures...

> 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
