The Michoacan File

This entertaining documentary explores the origins and history of Mexican food culture and the enormous influence it has had on modern society.

We delve into the incredible story of how Mexico, in 2010, became the first country in the world to be added to UNESCO’s prestigious World Heritage List. For all lovers of Mexican cuisine, it's not just the delightful dishes we get to explore, nor just the challenges faced in actually getting on the list after much adversity; it’s also an eye-opener to discover how Mexican food culture and ingredients have traveled across large parts of the world over many years.
