Cultus

Cultus tries to understand the evolution of faith in Mexico after its evangelization.

The story portrays an intimate look into a very conservative and patriarchal group

known as the Confraternity of Nazarenos funded in 1545 in Puebla, Mexico. 

The confraternity played a big part in spreading the faith in the city during its first 

three centuries but eventually was forgotten and went through a 132-year-old ban

when the country divided state and church with the Reforma Laws 

forbidding any public religious demonstration.
