THE PIÑATA KING
On the outskirts of Mexico City, over 50 years ago, a family began making and selling piñatas to the local community. Nowadays, the whole town is involved. 'The Piñata King' is a short documentary that takes a look inside the life of this town, and the head of the family who started it all.
