Coyote's Christmas CarolCoyote's Christmas Carol
Synopsis:
What if ebenezer Scrooge lived in New Mexico today? In this folklore-infused New Mexican adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic story, Scrooge is visited in the hospital by the great Native American folk hero Coyote, who sends him off to rediscover his humble Christmas Past in a Mexican village.

This large-cast holiday comedy features three original songs by Diego Flores.
