This very special event is a screening of the documentary Guardianes del Espiritu, a brand new documentary about traditional mezcal production and its role in rural Mexican society. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the filmmaker and subjects of the documentary, with a tasting to follow at Bar Crisol.

This spirited journey follows the footsteps of impassioned mezcaleros, revealing the intricate process of cultivating the revered agave plants, harvested with time-honored techniques passed down through generations. Beyond the craft, "Guardianes del Espíritu" delves into the vibrant communities where mezcal is not just a drink but a way of life. Through intimate interviews with master mezcaleros and locals, the film unveils the stories of resilience, tradition, and the symbiotic relationship between the land and its people.

Directly following the screening, Bar Crisol will host a tasting and discussion with filmmaker Alberto Peschard along with Bildo Saravia and Asis Cortez of Mezcal Origen Raíz.
