The Modern Jungle
Documentary • Unrated • Directed by: Charles Fairbanks & Saul Kak • 70 minutes
The Modern Jungle is a story of globalization focused on a Mexican shaman, don Juan, who falls under the spell of a pyramid-scheme. Juan’s neighbor Carmen lives simply, in harmony with the land her martyred husband paid for with his life. An intimate portrait of Zoque culture, capitalism and commodity fetish, The Modern Jungle is also a deeply engaging, critical film about documentary.
