Black Water Green Gold (Film)

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.
