El Pulmo

 

Mario Castro, a retired fisherman, helped transform Cabo Pulmo, Mexico, into the world’s most successful marine park. Today, his paradise faces threats from development, overpopulation, and political inaction. Through his personal story, we discover how collective vision and dedication revived a dying reef and how fragile that balance remains. The film blends ecological insight with human resilience, offering a moving portrait of preservation, memory, and commitment to the sea. Cabo Pulmo becomes both a cautionary tale and a symbol of hope.
