This lively documentary follows a group of indigenous and mestizo men in the town of Juchitan, Oxaca, who live openly as gay men while simultaneously defending their identity as Zapotec Indians. Over the past three decades, the Muxes community has worked together to survive family rejection and the prejudice and machismo of the larger Mexican society. Director Alejandra Islas creates an intimate portrait of this little known subculture of drag queens, gay couples, male prostitutes and hangers on thriving in one of the most conservative states of Mexico. Alejandra Islas’s previous work includes the documentaries Eisenstein in Mexico, Tina Modotti, and Memory of an Invasion.
