Resurrección

Documentary shot in 2016 and shown at the international film festivals as Guanajuato and Morelia, 'Resurrección' narrates the decadence and struggle for the recovery of the waterfalls of El Salto de Juanacatlán, considered wonders of nature in the past. Contaminated and mistreated over several decades, their current appearance is far from what they had five decades ago. For this reason, the documentary becomes a clear denunciation in favor of the recovery of this natural space, which is seen through the inhabitants of the towns surrounding the waterfalls, called in their day "the Mexican version of cataracts of the Niagara". They unite to defend their natural heritage and show the government the extreme pollution of the Santiago River, which caused the Cascadas de Juanacatlán to become the saddest meaning of decadence and desolation.
