The Movie
Our plan is to produce a documentary film about the ecological catastrophe taking place in the heart of the Purepecha lands, the Patzcuaro lake.
The lake of Pátzcuaro is one of the oldest bodies of water in Michoacán, Mexico.
Michoacan is the largest avocado producing region in the world. About one in three avocados consumed worldwide originates here.
Avocado plantations require twice the amount of water that would be consumed by the local woods. To meet the global demand, large monocrop systems are implemented, replacing the diverse forests.

Our Mission
Dear World,
We are a team of 6 people that want to tell the story of the Patzcuaro lake. We have been able to capture the spirit of the lake by means of three locals. Every one of them has their own connection with the water that gives them a place to live, work and simply be.
Many things have changed in the last decades confronting them with challenges that we want you to see live on screen.
From getting stuck in the lake on a boat at night, managing the daily tasks of bringing water to the island in gallons to building armed forces that defend their communities.
This place with its own magic, vulnerabilities and conflicts shows beauty and tragedy alike.
No one knows what the next years will bring, hope and fear are in a constant battle. Eventhough this is a unique and unmistakeable region, the situation that the people must face is similar in many places of the world. Deforestation, pollution, migration in a transition from lifelong traditions to new realities.
Competition and collaboration.
This story is worth to be told.
Thats why, once again, we are calling our supporters.
