Brimstone & Glory
One of the most dangerous festivals on Earth, and the most beautiful.
Brimstone & Glory takes you inside the National Pyrotechnic Festival in Tultepec, Mexico, a town built around fireworks. Once a year, the whole place erupts into fire as giant wooden bulls covered in explosives are pushed through packed crowds and towers of fireworks are set alight above them.
At the centre of the film is Santi, a young boy growing up in a family of firework makers, drawn to the danger but still working up the courage to take part.
Directed by Viktor Jakovleski
