My husband and I enjoyed this very much. Ancient ruins, the hopes and dreams of individual citizens as well as groups united in religious ceremonies captured our imaginations and were inspiring. For a short program this covered quite a bit and makes you think. We will definitely watch this again in future.

I greatly enjoyed this offering from Discovery! Colorful, educational, beautifully filmed, wonderful music, and narrated very nicely by Edward James Olmos. It doesn't just just feature places, but also the people of Mexico, both groups and individuals. Well-worth watching. :)

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this documentary on Mexico. I'm a 7th grade Geography teacher, and I showed it to my classes. They thoroughly enjoyed it as well. Not only does it highlight parts of Mexico's past, present, and future, but it also allows the viewer to get to know the people of Mexico. A Mexican wrestler, Acapulco cliff diver, chef, and woman celebrating the Day of the Dead are all featured in this work. It portrays Mexico in a positive light, and I really think it helped my students get over some of the negative stereotypes they had about our neighbors to the south. The footage of Mexico was spectacular, the stories were interesting, and I also liked the narration of Edward James Olmos. In my opinion, this documentary is definitely worth watching.

This product is really disappointing, not to mention over priced! It is basically like a very cheap promotional video of the sort you might expect to get for free at at a travel expo. Very glossy, smooth American voiceover. Just bad. Don't bother.
