X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>"BEYOND THE RUINS explores what it means t
 o be Yucatecan Maya in the 21st century. Starting at the ancient city of C
 oba\, the film takes viewers deep into the jungle\, where two indigenous f
 amilies work to preserve their cultural identity and spiritual philosophy:
  in lak&rsquo\; ech\, a lak&rsquo\; en &mdash\; &ldquo\;I am you\; you are
  me.&rdquo\; Through stunning visuals and heartfelt moments\, the film rev
 eals how the Maya view themselves as part of a greater whole&mdash\;each o
 ther\, nature\, and the cosmos. Director Brady Skye undergoes a personal t
 ransformation\, contrasting his Western upbringing with the Maya&rsquo\;s 
 sense of interconnectedness. This emotional journey underscores a powerful
  message: the wisdom of indigenous cultures may hold answers for a more su
 stainable\, compassionate future. BEYOND THE RUINS is a moving portrait of
  a living culture that continues to thrive\, reminding us that the true le
 gacy of the Maya isn&rsquo\;t buried in the past&mdash\;it&rsquo\;s alive 
 today." - Kanopy</p>\n<p>The film running time is 1 hour\, 11 minutes.</p>
