Watch Mexico Pelagico

Mexico Pelagico is a documentary film that was released in 2014 in Mexico. The film follows a group of conservationists who are working to protect the open waters off the west coast of Mexico. These conservationists are hoping to protect the local sharks from fishing that is done by poor villagers hoping to feed their families. The plan involves encouraging the villagers to support themselves through tourism rather than fishing. The documentary details some of the challenges associated with this shift, and the beauty of the sharks that can be found in Mexico's waters.
