In the mid-1930s the amateur French ethnographer and filmmaker Bernard de Colmont ventured into the mountainous state of Chiapas to study the Lacandón people and broadcast their way of life to a curious European public. This book illuminates de Colmont’s expedition against the backdrop of late imperialism on the eve of the Second World War in Europe.
