Guatemala: Corazón del Mundo Maya (2019)
It is a commercial, not a documentary

Certainly eyecatching clips, with constant muzak. It views more like a commercial than a critical documentary. That said, it did sell its sales points to me; I would very much like to visit Guatemala as soon as possible. There is inspiration to take notice of here when making a travel plan.
Then, suddenly about a third into the film, starts a genuine description, still with constant mellow muzak, about the mayan people and culture. Quickly diversion back to the landscape and animal wildlife, all more or less in slow motion.
Having just watched Netflix' series Narcos: Mexico, I miss some political socioeconomic depiction of Guatemala as I am sure it cannot all be as sweet as depicted in this documentary.
