The Circus of Maromero Paez
The life of Maromero Paez approached from a tragic- comedy perspective in its majority, sarcastic in different passages and crude in others. A balance that reflects Maromero's personality and his ability to find laughter in all aspects of life. And it is precisely through humor that the series explores uncomfortable truths of his life, addressing controversial issues with kindness and accessibility.
In addition, the inclusion of a comedic tone in many passages, along with doses of magical realism, make it more accessible to a general audience, even those who are not normally interested in traditional biographies or boxing stories in particular.
An indigenous voice that breaks borders
Yo Soy la Reyna is an emotional documentary that portrays the life and art of María Reyna, a Mixe soprano from Tlahuitoltepec, Oaxaca, whose voice has crossed the most important stages in the country, fusing classical opera with the native languages of Mexico.
Through an intimate look, the film accompanies María in her struggle to make her way in an artistic world that rarely gives visibility to the richness of indigenous culture. From her roots in the Sierra Mixe to her rise as a symbol of identity and resistance, the documentary celebrates the strength of a woman who sings with the soul of her people
Saving the last VAQUITA
A breathtaking and hard-hitting journey that unravels the intertwined fates of the critically endangered Totoaba fish and the vanishing the Vaquita, revealing a tale of illicit trafficking, cultural collision, and the desperate call for conservation.
Saving the Last Vaquita is a feature-length documentary that exposes the crisis in the Gulf of California, where illegal fishing for Totoaba – driven by a multi-million-dollar black market in China – endangers not only an iconic fish but also the world’s most endangered marine mammal, the Vaquita.
This Film navigates through historical context, local communities, and international intrigue to explore a story where environmental preservation, cultural heritage, and human conflict converge.
This documentary unravels the global story behind two endangered species—the Vaquita and the Totoaba—both native to Mexico’s Sea of Cortez. We trace the cultural obsession with the Totoaba’s bladder in China, the environmental collapse in Baja’s fishing villages, and the international response to a crisis entangled in organized crime, systemic corruption, and fragile hope.
