El Tema

Synopsis

Compilation of six short documentaries about the fundamental aspects of the climate crisis in Mexico, following the stories and experiences of environmental activists, human rights advocates, indigenous communities, academics and non-profit organizations. The shorts are framed by the ecosystems and natural landscapes threatened by human impact in different parts of the country: Water, in Chihuahua; Air, in Monterrey; Carbon, in Coahuila; Oceans, in Cozumel; Energy, in Tabasco; and Food, in Chapala. Gael García Bernal and writer and Yásnaya Aguilar weave the stories together and reflect on the impact of each problem.
