Day of the Dead
Dia De Los Muertos -Day of the Dead – is a joyous celebration of life that brings ancestors (the dead) back for a brief period of remembrance with their living kin. While Halloween is recognized on October 31, the Latino community awaits the arrival of the spirits of dead children on November 1 and the following night, November 2, the spirits of adults. Passed down through generations dating back to Mayan culture, it has become a much anticipated event. Learn more in this short informative video.
Cyndy Green has been intrigued by news since she got a toy printing press as a six year old. She switched to visual story telling at the age of 12 with her first still camera and moved to broadcasting after an internship in 1974. After 28 years in broadcast news and another 8 teaching broadcasting, she still can’t live without a camera in hand and an editing computer nearby, so in retirement she continues creating visual stories.
