Synopsis
In Mexico there is a cult that is rapidly growing – the cult of Saint Death. A female Grim Reaper considered a saint by followers but Satanic by the Catholic Church; she is worshipped by people whose lives are defined by danger and violence – criminals, gang members, transvestites, drug addicts and families living in rough neighborhoods.
Narrated by Gael Garcia Bernal (“The Motorcycle Diaries”), La Santa Muerte examines the origins of the cult and takes us on a tour of the altars, jails, and neighborhoods in Mexico where the saint's most devoted followers can be found.
