This film about Rudolfo Anaya looks at the struggles and exultations of the creative process of writing from the standpoint of an author ... all » whose life is steeped in New Mexican tradition. Steering away from a strict biographical sketch, the documentary has friends, colleagues and other writers reading excerpts from Rudolfo Anaya's novels, short stories, plays, travelogues, and children's books, each contemplating their personal perspective on Anaya's prose. Anaya himself talks about how he shapes his writing from influences such as childhood, family, New Mexico's landscapes and traditional folktales, as well as the mythological and dream-like symbols arising from his own subconscious world. Besides fame as a 2001 winner of our national Presidential Medal of Arts and being dubbed "the grandfather of Chicano literature", Rudolfo Anaya is committed to writing about "la raza" -- the people -- and "la tierra" - the land - a commitment that has earned him an honorary place in the humble hearts of New Mexicans. Originally broadcast on New Mexico PBS station KNME
