LOS HEREDEROS

At young ages children begin to work in the Mexican countryside. Los herederos is a journey through their lives and their daily struggle for survival. These children's realities echo those of their ancestors. One generation after another remains caught up in a
perpetual cycle of inherited poverty.
«For the past ten years I traveled throughout the Mexican countryside and felt a combination of range and awe at seeing countless children working in the fields. Range and awe fuel my desire to pay homage to their abilities and their courage. Los herederos interlaces the stories of these children, caught up in a cycle of inherited poverty, and transports the viewer to a reflection on the human condition.» (Eugenio Polgovsky)
