Watch Santa Muerte: Holy Death

Regarded by many as a protective saint, the final refuge to escape an extremely harsh and violent day-to-day reality, Santa Muerte is the central folk saint in a cult that has become increasingly important within Mexican society and among Hispanic immigrants to the USA. Where the influence of drug trafficking and poverty is phenomenal, she has undergone a spectacular rise in popularity.

Santa Muerte: Holy Death is a 2017 documentary with a runtime of 50 minutes.
