Agave

For Mexican families who have been producing mezcal and tequila for generations, the agave plant has always been more than just a plant. The documentary AGAVE: THE SPIRIT OF A NATION, with its stunning photography, follows several agave growers who make the popular spirits in the traditional way, and gives us a small glimpse into the considerable amounts of blood, sweat and tears that go into the production of this historically important, and now fashionable, beverage. The result is a beautiful meditation on the people and the land from which they live.
