This expressive documentary explores the phenomenon of the fastest growing alcohol spirit in the world, Tequila and Mezcal. Taking us to the world’s most bio-diverse landscape of the agave plant, Mexico, where families have been passing down the tradition of distilling agave for generations, even at times clandestinely. From the alluring red highlands of Jalisco to the rugged green mountains of Oaxaca, the film follows three producers – Carlos Camereño, Graciella Angeles Carreño, and Aquilino García López in this burgeoning renaissance. From a bootstrap ambition to carrying on a father’s legacy, their successes and sacrifices unfurl in this interweaved story. Discover how one delicate plant can carry the weight of a nation and the people trying to protect it for the future.
