    Thumbs up for CRIZMAC's Oaxaca: Valley of Myth and Magic. An
    excellent overall experience of a culture and the crafts. I
    especially like the weaving section. After watching the video the
    students' weavings were far superior to the ones they had produced the
    year before. Each section of the video stands alone so it can be used
    as different lessons .

    The CRIZMAC video on Haitian art is also excellent. Haiti was the
    first country in this hemisphere to achieve independence and it has
    more working artists per capita than any other country in the world.
    An excellent study for black history. I approached every company I
    could about producing material on the art of Haiti and CRIZMAC was the
    only company that responded. Thanks CRIZMAC!

    > This video is from CRIZMAC. It features Zeny Fuentes selecting wood,
