In the video I especially liked the part about the Guelaguetza. When obstacles come our way we tend to become hardened, solemn, low in spirits, and downtrodden. Sometimes it's vengeance that powers us and not what's really supposed to matter. Watching the people take back what was once theirs and party harder than ever, while enduring extremely difficult situations made me think how unfortunate WE actually are, living in a land with greater social opportunities and where we can exercise more freedom than the people of Oaxaca had, and yet being generally unable to find reasons to overcome and celebrate ourselves with the people around us.
