Digital Cave announced today that Damián Alcázar, best known for his role in Netflix’s Narcos, is set to narrate the new documentary, AGAVE: The Spirit of a Nation; a documentary film that explores the the rich cultural heritage of tequila and mezcal in the nation that created it, Mexico and the people trying to protect it.

Alcazar, who previously appeared in films: The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, The Perfect Dictatorship, Magallanes and La Ley de Herodes - Herod’s Law, has made a notable career in series such as “El Principe de la Canción,” “Kdabra”, “Sin Senos Si Hay Paraiso,” “2091,” and “Lady of Steel.”

This expressive documentary explores the phenomenon of the fastest growing alcohol spirit in the world, Tequila and Mezcal. Taking us to the world’s most bio-diverse landscape of the agave plant, Mexico, where families have been passing down the tradition of distilling agave for generations, even at times clandestinely. From the alluring red highlands of Jalisco to the rugged green mountains of Oaxaca, the film follows three producers – Carlos Camereño, Graciella Angeles Carreño, and Aquilino García López in this burgeoning renaissance. From a bootstrap ambition to carrying on a father’s legacy, their successes and sacrifices unfurl in this interweaved story. Discover how one delicate plant can carry the weight of a nation and the people trying to protect it for the future.

“We are so excited to work with Damián on Agave: Spirit of a Nation, his passion and dedication to his craft will lead the audience through the authentic stories and characters we have uncovered in Mexico.” -Director, Nick Kovacic.
