Rooftop Films & IFFR Present Los Herederos July 18, 2009
New York City, New York 10029
FRIDAY JULY 17TH
Rooftop Films and the International Film Festival of Rotterdam present
LOS HEREDEROS
A hypnotic documentary that observes the young working poor in the hinterlands of Mexico, alternately expressing the joy of children finding ways to play, the frustration of their harsh and repetitive lives, and the fateful acceptance of their existence.
Los Herederos (Eugenio Pulgovsky | Mexico | 1:30:00)
Small children's hands pluck green beans at high speed and chop wood for a fire. Just as their (grand) parents have lived for years, so too is the life of these children in the Mexican countryside. Sad? Maybe. An impressive documentary, that's for sure.
