Info

Plot

Documentary shot in 2016 and shown at the international film festivals as Guanajuato and Morelia, 'Resurrección' narrates the decadence and struggle for the recovery of the waterfalls of El Salto de Juanacatlán, considered wonders of nature in the past. Contaminated and mistreated over several decades, their current appearance is far from what they had five decades ago. For this reason, the documentary becomes a clear denunciation in favor of the recovery of this natural space, which is seen through the inhabitants of the towns surrounding the waterfalls, called in their day "the Mexican version of cataracts of the Niagara". They unite to defend their natural heritage and show the government the extreme pollution of the Santiago River, which caused the Cascadas de Juanacatlán to become the saddest meaning of decadence and desolation.

Trivia

A film reference

The title is a direct reference to Alain Resnais's Hiroshima mon amour (1959) that also deals with the trauma of a nuclear catastrophe.

Few people

The way Doris Dorrie builds her films is atypical but it allowed 'Resurrección''s filming to be easier. Since they use a small crew, very different from conventional big crews, it was simpler to get in difficult areas like the desolate region of Minimasoma in Fukushima.

A story is born

The idea for the movie was born in a trip of the director Doris Dorrie to Japan. "Every now and then, complete strangers would take my hand and show me the way. I've never felt so cared and spoiled in a stranger country and that sensation caused me a deep impression: being a foreigner and feeling everybody worried about me", the director explained.
