Los herederos

At an early age, children begin to work in the Mexican countryside. «The Inheritors» is a portrait of their lives and their daily struggle for survival. The children work farming, sculpting and painting "alebrijes", shepherding, making bricks, weaving cloth, looking after their little siblings, collecting water, harvesting tomato, chili, maize, and laboring in a myriad of other activities. They have inherited tools and techniques from their ancestors, but they have also inherited their day by day hardship.
