Description

Film director Roberto Rochín explains in the introduction the purpose of the book "Over 20 years have passed since the filming of "Ulama, the Game of Life and Death" in 1984.... However, the most important effect of the film has been the resurgence of the 'Ulama' ball game in the state of Sinaloa, which during the 1980's was on the verge of extinction. The ancestral sport is one of the most deep-rooted traditions that captures the very essence of Mexico's glorious past and which, fortunately have endure to the 21st century. Because the hazards of modernity continue to threaten the survival of our traditions, we decided to use this very modernity to our advantage by adapting this classic Mexican documentary film to new formats and incorporate an updated analysis and explanation of the concepts it reflects"--P. 9.
