Mario Ordonez Calderon, a Mayan American storyteller, embarked on a 1500-mile cycling pilgrimage to the Yucatan Peninsula to reconnect with his indigenous roots, shaped by his upbringing between Mexico and the United States. This journey, captured in the film 'Cycle of Ancestry,' played a crucial role in his self-exploration and identity formation, leading to a deep sense of pride and a clearer understanding of his heritage.
