La Selva Negra (The Modern Jungle), from co-directors Saul Kak (Zoque) and Charles Fairbanks, presents a portrait of a small Zoque village in Mexico beset by outside forces. The film documents the influences of capitalism, the allure of a pyramid-scheme-marketed nutritional supplement hyped as a medical miracle, and the impact of filmmaking on Kak’s community. In Zoque and Spanish with English subtitles. (Charles Fairbanks, 2018, 71 min.).
Film contains some adult language.
