El Guardián de las Monarcas

This documentary is an excellent source of depiction of what occurs when a high demand of avocados results in a turf war for the regions resources. As a result, monarch butterflies, as well as nature activist are put in danger. High demand for any type of supply is not great for the specific region, which supplies it, please consider not buying Mexican avocados to ensure that we keep our great monarch butterflies in our world. Unless the Mexican government is willing to put a sanction or a safety to the specific region and our beautiful butterflies nothing will change. Great documentary, food for thought never the less.

I truly enjoyed this film, it was moving, beautifully shot, and deeply impactful. What stood out to me the most was Homero's quiet strength and unwavering determination to defend those who can't defend themselves, the monarchs, the forest, and the native people whose voices are so often ignored.

It's not just a story about nature or activism; it's a deeply human story about injustice, corruption, and the courage it takes to stand up against it. I was shocked to see how flawed the legal system can be, and how easily it can be manipulated by cartels who thrive on fear and silence.

This film was a real eye-opener. It left me thinking about the world we live in and how much change is still needed, but also about the power of one person's voice when used with heart and purpose. Highly recommended.
