"The Day of the Dead, an ancient cultural tradition, still flourishes in modern-day Mexico.

On this day when the dead are believed to revisit the temporal realm, the program allows viewers a glimpse into Mexican life as they follow the preparations--including bountiful food offerings and wax statues--and observance of this unique holiday"--Container. |
