A Village Away From Home: Full Documentary
05/30/2008
Imagine what would happen if you picked up a village in rural Mexico and transplanted it in Seattle's suburbs. Something similar is underway in South Seattle – a village within the city is emerging. The Seattle area has recently become a top destination for the indigenous Purepecha people from the rural hill–towns of central Mexico. Their native language, culture and traditional lifestyle are vanishing in parts of Mexico, but reappearing here. Our five–part series, A Village Away From Home, traces this migration trend from the Mexican sierra to Seattle's fast–paced suburbs. Reported by Liz Jones, edited by Rachel Anne Goodman.Funding for A Village Away from Home: Seattle's Purepecha Community was provided by the KUOW Program Venture Fund.
