Sepultureros: trabajando en la ciudad de los muertos

2016 · 29 min · Documentary

Death remains a taboo subject in the 21st century. The work of gravediggers continues to be viewed with prejudice and ignorance. Working with death and the dead is neither easy nor pleasant: physical and psychological ailments are common and frequent among these workers. Nelson, Yiyo, and Miguel, gravediggers, reflect on the relationship we humans have with life and death, reflections that can help us re-evaluate our lives.
