Making Of Maya And The Three – The Latinx Storytelling Of Cultures And Creation Of Mythical Worlds

Maya and the Three is a splendid miniseries about Latin American legends.
Notably, the nine-episode miniseries really couldn’t have done more justice to
the sheer beauty of ancient Mesoamerica. In a recent video about the making of
Maya and the Three, Mexican animator Jorge Gutierrez talks about what compelled
him to work on this project. He talks about how “there is beautiful legends, and
beautiful art and beautiful stories from different part of Latin America that
have never been told.”




MAYA AND THE THREE- THE MUCH-NEEDED REPRESENTATION

The world has never been as intersectional as it is now. Minorities have more
representation. Cultures across the globe, not just Caucasian ones, are being
celebrated. Undoubtedly, the media plays a huge part in this movement. Being a
platform with over 200 million users, Netflix
[https://netflixjunkie.com/category/news/] has an additional responsibility to
make itself inclusive, and it seems to be taking the job seriously. With Con
Todo and numerous other inclusive movies and series, Netflix has added another
name to its library: Maya and The Three
