The Latin American Film Series, co-sponsored by the Georgia Museum of Art and the Latin American & Caribbean Studies Institute continues tonight with the showing of “Chac: Dios de la lluvia” or “Chac: The Rain God” at 7 p.m. in room 150 of the Zell B. Miller Learning Center.
“Chac: Dios de la lluvia,” written and directed by Rolando Klein, is a film about the journey of 12 people and their attempt to save their home. Their village is plagued by a severe drought so a brave group of villagers goes to get help from a mysterious seer who is said to practice ancient ways. The seer leads the people on a ritualistic quest for rain.
Brent Berlin, professor emeritus of anthropology will present an introduction to the film. We hope to see you there!
