Levi - Ixcanul (volcano) directed by Jayro Bustamante paints a bleak picture of indigenous Guatemalan (?) Plantation workers, as we chime in on a day in the life of this little family. It's your classic "she's in an arranged marriage but doesn't love the dude" scenario, and pepe has what she's looking for, which is basically that he's leaving to the states. Some bad choices were sewn, and repercussions were reaped. This film is RAW, no soundtrack makes you feel like you're right there with them, and if you aren't a fan of watching a pig get butchered, this may not be the film for you. It was alright, pretty rough around the edges. Would I see it again? Naw. 6/10
