Hidden Heroes - Mexico City Part 1

In Xochimilco, just beyond the sprawl of modern Mexico City, a centuries-old farming system still survives. Built by the Aztecs, the chinampas once fed an empire. Today, they are at risk—threatened by urban expansion, pollution, and neglect.

This film follows the farmers working to restore these floating fields, revealing how traditional knowledge and modern innovation intersect in a fragile ecosystem. As the city faces growing environmental pressure, the story asks a larger question: can the past hold the key to a more sustainable future?
