Join us at Ferona for a special evening screening the documentary Sons of Mezcal, directed by Stephan Werk and edited by Danny Doran. Mezcal is more than an intoxicating spirit. It is the sacred link that binds modern-day mezcaleros to their ancestors. Sons of Mezcal transports you into this living history, as it follows four families passing their traditions on to the next generation.
Sons of Mezcal highlights the lives of four families from four different villages in Oaxaca; The Cortés, Vásquez, Méndez, and Parada families. Casa Cortés works with 17 different families in 16 different regions for the production of its mezcals. Several of the individuals in the film are members of the Cortés family, while the other featured mezcaleros are from their own families. However, all the families featured in the documentary work together as part of a tightly-knit community of mezcal producers that provide the foundations for the El Jolgorio, Nuestra Soledad, and Agave de Cortés brands of mezcal.
