 | | Salvador Garcia is the old capitan of the Voladores, and it is at his house that much of the filming took place: the candle-making, the kid's practice, and the dance to the hub. |
 | | During the filming, Lane became friends with Juan and Salvador Garcia, the captains of the Voladores, and when a child was born to Salvador and his wife, Angela, they asked Lane to be the child's godfather and thus their compadre (co-parent). |
 | | A second film, "The Tree of Knowledge," which compares the dance of the Huehues, used by Totonacs as a teaching tool for defining their relationships to non-Indian Mexicans, with the nationalistic and assimilationist celebrations of the Mexican public school system, was completed in 1981. |
