Synopsis by Augustine Chay

Nicholas Kovacic and Matthew Riggieri’s “expressive documentary” focuses on the lives and livelihoods of three Mexican tequila and mezcal producers (Carlos Camarena, Graciela Angeles Carreño, and Aquilino García Lopez) at a time when both spirits are amassing global popularity. It examines the economic, historical, and cultural significance of the agave plants which are used to make them.
