Winner of the Grand Jury Prize for Best World Documentary at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival, In the Pit is a powerful portrait of the construction workers responsible for building the second deck on Mexico City's heavily-congested Periferico Freeway between 2003 and 2005. Juan Carlos Rulfo's film captures the honest spirit of men and women who face mortal danger on a daily basis, working without modern equipment to complete more than 10 miles of concrete roadway and support towers that soar above the densely-packed barrios. "The unlikely beauty...is just one of the surprising complexities of this latest in an extraordinary wave of Mexican nonfiction cinema" (Robert Koehler, Variety). In Spanish with English subtitles.    Juan Carlos Rulfo---Mexico---2006---84 mins.
