Santa Escritura "Sacred Scripture" is a documentary series that explores the intersection of death and Mexican literature through five episodes, each spotlighting a distinguished author: Juan Rulfo, José Agustín, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, Laura Esquivel, and Julián Herbert. Filmed in iconic locations across Mexico City, Veracruz, and Guadalajara, the series delves deeper than traditional literary biographies, examining how themes of mortality influence Mexico's cultural identity. Hosted by the esteemed journalist Adriana Santacruz, the series engages with five distinguished guests: actor Damián Alcázar, writer Julián Herbert, visual artist and singer Jaramar Soto, composer and band leader José Manuel Aguilera, and traditional cook María de los Ángeles García. These conversations illuminate how these authors and cultural figures have reflected and shaped national perceptions. "Sacred Scripture" invites viewers to explore the profound connections between literature, identity, and the pervasive motif of death within the Mexican psyche.
