Weaving the Past: Journey of Discovery (2014)
A remarkable achievement!
"Weaving the Past: Journey of Discovery" is a remarkable achievement. Mr. Dominguez has accomplished a rare artistic feat, creating a beautiful cinematic tapestry that weaves together his very personal journey with the universal experience of searching for our roots – all accomplished against the backdrop of the magnificent culture of Mexico and our shared humanity.
Mr. Dominguez presents his heartfelt personal journey with warmth and sensitivity as we follow him on a path to greater self-knowledge, acceptance, healing and inner peace. His engaging narrative style and poignant revelations draw us into personal story while opening the door to the broader, universal yearning of each of us to reclaim a deeper sense of our own selves and our ancestral heritage.
A critically important and timely aspect of his film is the insight Mr. Dominguez provides into the rich cultural traditions of Mexico and the beauty, intelligence, and warmth of the Mexican peoples. During this unfortunate time of extreme political rhetoric and inappropriate, inaccurate and at times demeaning stereotyping, this film shines a bright light on our shared humanity and moves us beyond the superficial differences of race or culture. By experiencing this film with an open heart and open mind we are not only moved by his journey but also able to rise above prejudices and, possibly, be transformed ourselves.
