WELLINGTON Hispanic communities held a special celebration this month – the Day of the Dead.

Celebrants gathered at the Museum of City and Sea and marched through the city singing and dancing their way to Bar Bodega on Ghuznee St, where the festivities continued with performances raising money for a health project in Southern Mexico.

The indigenous people of La Garrucha in the state of Chiapas have suffered generations of marginalisation and oppression.

VIDEO TEAM: Jonathan Tringham, Chris Armstrong and Ruby Armstrong-Kooy (reporter), who spoke to event organiser Julie Webb-Pullman.
