On the sun-baked Isthmus of Tehuantepec in Mexico lies the town of Juchitan, whose population of indigenous Zapotecs have for centuries warded off numerous invasions to preserve their identity. Today, Juchitan has an additional, more notorious, identity, as a queer paradise famous for the Muxes, transgendered homosexual men whose socially defined role within the Zapotec culture pre-dates the advent of gay liberation. They call themselves Authentic, Intrepid Seekers of Danger, and have banded together to lead the fight against AIDS in Oaxaca. They speak frankly about their experiences of acceptance and rejection, and their successes in finding freedom and love as they delight in their identities. Director: Alejandra Islas - 105 min - Not Rated Strong Language - Spanish with English Subtitles
