Muxes - Intrepid Seekers of Danger
‘A lively and surprising portrait of a group of homosexuals, who defend their sexual diversity while preserving their identity as Zapotec Indians in the “queer paradiseâ€? of Juchitán, Mexico.  MUXES (pronounced ‘mooshays’) examines transgressive boundary-pushing within an indigenous culture that has historically embraced this “third gender.â€? On the sun-baked Isthmus of Tehuantepec in Mexico lies the town of Juchitan, whose population of indigenous Zapotecs have for centuries warded off numerous invasions to preserve their identity. Today, Juchitán has an additional, more notorious, identity, as a “queer paradiseâ€? famous for its Muxes, effeminate homosexual men whose socially defined role within the Zapotec culture pre-dates the advent of gay liberation. The Muxes of Juchitan are proud of their identity, enjoy their lives, laugh at themselves as well as at “straightâ€? society, and admit their own foibles freely. They call themselves “Authentic, Intrepid Seekers of Dangerâ€?, and have banded together to lead the fight against AIDS in Oaxaca. They talk frankly about their experiences of acceptance and rejection, and their successes in finding freedom, love and delight in their special identity.
