Hi all! I had a friend translate an article I found just to make
sure I was reading it correctly. Here's his translation...we Mana
fans have something to look forward to!

The documentary, explained Rosoff, will have as the common thread the
lives of the musicians that created hits such as "Vivir sin Aire".

Mexico City (February 3). – The whole world knows the music of Mana,
but now Fher, Sergio, Alex and Juan will become immortal on video,
when the documentary of the band's history is filmed, under the
direction of Eduardo Rosoff.
The one that brought about Ave Maria commented that for a long time
the proposal has been considered to finalize the project, and that
filming could begin in the next few weeks.
Rossoff and the tapatian quartet became acquainted last year, when he
directed the video "Eres Mi Religion" in th city of Guanajuato.
"As Rockers, not only are they good, but also as people they have a
political agenda that we need, in addition to defending the
environment with their foundation Selva Negra. Fher loves the idea of
a documentary, as long as it's well planned, and wouldn't mind
getting started if possible as soon as tommorow" commented the film
director.
The documentary, explained Rosoff, will have as a common thread the
lives of the musicians that created hits such as "vivir sin
Aire", "En el muelle de San Blas", and "Clavado en un Bar" and it
will contain scenes from concerts put on by the band.
"What will be shown is a little bit of their spirit. I know that in
Mexico documentaries are not a genre that has gone over very well,
but this will be about important people of this country and they
should enjoy it very much."
"They are people who in their songs and albums, like the last one
(Revolucion de Amor), they try to avoid corruption and ask for land ,
justice, and liberty" he explained.
In fact, Rossoff commented, who currently lives in the U.S., his
love of nature is what has brought him close to Mana.
"Right now Mexico has ten percent of all of the animals in the world
and we are destroying them. They don't just talk, but they take
advantage of their fame to create change and when I worked with them
I really felt good, it's worth it to do the documentary" he said.
Mana currently has on the market a DVD made up of the videos of their
musical hits.
