About this listen

 There is a place, tucked into the mountains and hills near the border between the Mexican states of Oaxaca and Puebla, where local campesinos continue to practice an ancestral tradition. They are salt farmers. And they are the last of their kind. But they are holding on. Holding on to the past in the present. Holding on to their tradition, culture and livelihood. Resisting amid the ancient salt pools in the cactus-studded hills of Mexico.
