Each fall, Mexicans celebrate a weeklong holiday called Days of the Dead. The festival honors the memories of loved ones who have died. No celebration describes the Mexican culture as this one: sad, joyful, and satirical all at the same time. FOOD FOR THE ANCESTORS explores this fabulous festival as it is done in the culturally rich state of Puebla.

Each year on the 5th of May, Cinco de Mayo celebrations are held in cities throughout the United States. And yet, few people outside of Mexico are fully aware of the holiday's true significance.
