El brillo negro
2026 | Color | 20:07
At the Pasta de Conchos mine in Coahuila, an explosion buried 65 miners in 2006. In a region marked by neglect, corruption, and impunity, 20 years of a struggle led by the miners’ families have finally compelled the government to work on recovering the bodies. Black Shine is the portrait of patience as resistance—and of how those who remain above ground refuse to forget those still trapped below.

Seventy-nine percent of the Mexican population lives in cities: the heart of a system that imposes costs and conditions on the rest of society. In this new season of six documentary shorts, the climate crisis is addressed and deliberated with Gael García Bernal and Yásnaya Águilar, who interview people about their relationships with the environment in one of the largest cities in the world.
