Film Description



This the story of the Chichinautzin: a natural protected area on the southern border of Mexico City. This beautiful land is the setting for desperate struggles between indigenous communities and powerful interests, sometimes ending in bloodshed.

Faced with illegal logging and intense development pressures, a group of local scientists, government agencies and NGOs are trying to help communities find a sustainable future. Can this region and the people survive as Mexico City’s demand for more space and natural resources continues to grow?
