This project portrays 34 days of walking of the Caravan for Water and Life: Peoples united against capitalist dispossession, who tirelessly toured eight states of the country to visit dozens of communities that experience and suffer a water crisis of great magnitude, in addition to seeking articulation with other struggles to continue defending water and their self-determination as native peoples, carrying out sit-ins, taking of facilities, rallies, protests, meetings and cultural activities, which culminated in an extremely violent event where the government of Mexico City encapsulated and repressed by beating members and indigenous communities for more than 72 hours.
