Mezcalistas
The World of Mezcal
Here’s a nice clip from an upcoming documentary on traditional agaves in Mexico. It’s a good background on the topic and importance of agave diversity in Mexico. There’s a great presentation of the issues and debate over the Denominación de Origen for mezcal, what was left out, why it’s still an issue and the current debate over NOM 186. It’s subtitled with a nice translation.

Hi Bryant,
Right now the only place you can see it is in special screenings. I’m pretty sure that it will be available for streaming eventually, stay tuned to our newsletter and Facebook page where we’ll announce future screening dates and if it becomes available for streaming.
