		<description><![CDATA[First-time director Sergio Ramirez blends subtle moods and textured imagery in his 2010 film, Distancia, one of the most powerful and understated productions to emerge from Central America in recent years. It tells the story of an elderly man, Tomás Choc, who travels across the highlands of Guatemala to reunite with his long-lost daughter, Lucía, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This hopeful documentary by Al Jazeera charts efforts to preserve Guatemala’s astonishing array of indigenous languages, which include 22 Mayan idioms. Mayan culture has endured for over 2000 years in Central America with a vast pre-Columbian civilisation that once reached from southern Mexico as far as Honduras and El Salvador. The ancient Mayans were skilled [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Frederick Catherwood was the first 19th century artist to record the splendours of some of the most inaccessible Central American ruins. His images, published in books that changed the way academics viewed the region's indigenous peoples, were created under appalling conditions. They remain some of the most vibrant and beautiful illustrations of the ancient Mexican world ever rendered...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Mayan village of San Juan Chamula is a bastion of archaic philosophy and pre-Hispanic lore. Here the old gods are alive and well, merely clothed in the robes of saints. The Maya are a cunning bunch, I realised, to have avoided assimilation for so many centuries. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dense, exuberant rainforest shrouds this immense metropolis, abandoned for unknown reasons over a millennia ago. A sense of the lost, grandiose world of the ancient Mayans lingers in this city’s ruined plazas. Palenque is a testament to Mesoamerican civilisation at its height. ]]></description>
