Film Made about the Water Pollution

04 March 1993

In response to the public outcry, the Manantlán Institute of Ecology and Conservation of Biodiversity’s environmental education programme makes a video that shows the local people telling their own story of how the pollution problem affects their health, livelihoods and quality of life. Dissemination of the video also improves awareness of the pollution problem beyond the boundaries of the valley, and later nationally.
