I am so pleased to see this mini-doc published on BBC Reel recently. @PaddyySmyth has done such a fantastic job on this film, working with the hugely talented @tomheyden. The film is refreshingly honest, thought-provoking and emotional: bbc.com/reel/video/p0fwy4jw/…

Really happy how this came together after logistical challenge of arranging shooting in rural Oaxaca ( in Spanish) - but crucial to hear from the town at the heart of this amazing maize
