| This
documentary is a dynamic accounting of the Maya over a 70 year period
- from 1930, when village elders were children or just starting their
families, to the beginning of the 21st century. In addition, discussions
of the Maya's ancestors and Spanish and English colonization offer
insight into their lives today. |

Over 1,000 photographs
are strategically placed throughout the five sections for greater
comprehension of documentary content.
Some photographs
offer a historical comparison between the Mayan culture of 1930
and in 2000. Pictured to the left is a photograph published in
1930.
