This pod is copied almost word for word and scene for scene from the film La Santa Muerte, Saint Death, by Sundance-winning director Eva Aridjis, narrated by Gael Garcia Bernal. They even interview the same people in the same village. Current could have vetted this with a simple google search.

Hi. I'm Daniel Hernandez. I wrote the script for this mini-doc and co-produced it with Ioan Grillo. He set up the interviews and we did all the original reporting together. I'm sure Eva's film is great, but neither I nor Ioan have gotten around to watching it. Cheers, D.

the point at which we stop organizing religion, we will have transcended the need to divide it into good (and Or vs etc) evil, life, death . This religion is encompassed in the movement called the deepening. We must allow life to be all encompassing if we are to continue to find a place for all that is. As you too awaken to yourself this process will unfold for you as well...then you will see there is only you and the great protector as ONE...if you truely know this and experience it; embodied freedom is yours. As Santa Muerte is a part of our world everyone will benefit by allowing her due space.

I've always loved the Mexican attitude towards death - things like this and the Day of the Dead show how death is just another thing like the rest

Death doesn't discriminate, someone's got to respect that.
