Patrimonio

Patrimonio I Trailer from Lisa F Jackson on Vimeo.

A multi-billion dollar American development is poised to engulf a small coastal community in Mexico with a mega hotel/housing complex. Tres Santos is marketed to affluent Americans as ‘mindful’ and ‘holistic’ but threatens the dwindling water supply and the beaches. Facing this existential threat, local fishermen and townspeople band together in an attempt to save their way of life and the delicate ecosystem on which they all depend.

This powerful, intimate documentary reveals how rampant, unsustainable development is destroying communities, ecosystems and long-held ways of life all over the world – and how it can be stopped.
