The Michoacan File is a new documentary film that explains the origin, history and impact of Mexican food in modern society. For over 300 years, Mexico was the place where European and Asian trade routes collided, leaving behind a vast and strong gastronomic culture with an enormous recipe repertoire which explains why today, Mexican food is infinite in recipes, varieties and flavors. In 2010, UNESCO designated Mexican food as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity and for the first time ever, a gastronomic culture was to be protected and elevated to the same level as art or science. Exploring through past and present and told from the point of view of culinary experts, anthropologists and traditional cooks actively engaged in this debate, The Michoacan File is a timely, culturally significant and provocative documentary film that challenges and ultimately deconstructs what we understand about Mexican Food.
