This engrossing documentary welcomes you to the many worlds of the Maya, exploring Belize and Guatemala, which hold the stories and sites of the great classical Maya past, as well as their culture today. We begin in the Caribbean port of Belize City and Belize's eastern coastline, which features the world's second largest barrier reef. Nearby we explore the ancient city of Altun Ha; then visit a Mayan home in Santa Rita. We journey by boat to Lamanai, a large ceremonial center with ancient Mayan architecture; then through treeless savanna and rainforests to Placencia. We visit the Mennonite community of Spanish Outlook, then the ancient city of Cahal Pech. In Nim Li Punit we examine ancient tombs; hike through the Cockscomb Nature Reserve, the only Jaguar preserve in the world; then return to the Mopan Maya village and witness a traditional thanksgiving. We tour famous sites in Guatemala City; visit the ruins of Quirigua; take a boat trip to a Maya Research center; explore La Antigua and Chichicastenango with its wonderful market; visit a renowned mask maker's shop; then admire women's distinctive halo-type headdresses in Santiago. Lastly, in Peten province, we explore the ruins and wildlife of Tikal National Park, one of the most important cultural and natural reserves in the world.

This is a four-part documentary about the Yákwa, the most important ritual of the Enauênê- Nauê Indians of Brazil. For seven months every year, the spirits are venerated with offerings of food, song and dance so they will protect the community. The World Outside the Rock - The Yákwa festivities open with the Enauênê-Nauê preparing for the big fish-catch by making salt, canoes and fish traps. Fearing the spirits, the Indians make new flutes, and explain their sacred significance. Dataware's Revenge - For two months, the men leave the village in groups and build dams on forest waterways to catch fish as they return from spawning. Xinare, the village elder, tells the myth of time in which a dam spontaneously builds itself, until one day Dataware, a civilizing hero, decides to take revenge of the fish. Harikare : The Spirit's Host - After the fish-catch, everyone returns with smoked fish that will be offered to the spirits and eaten by the villagers until the end of the ritual. The stormy entrance of the spirits into the village begins the most intense and spectacular phase of the ceremony. The Little Cassava Girl - As the celebration goes on, the Indians cut down and plant cassava root on the collective fields, the field of the Yákwa spirit. The Indians relive the myth of the girl who was buried by her mother and who transformed herself into the first cassava root.
