On May 21 join us for the screening of PATRIMONIO (part of a two week schedule of programming honoring Filmmaker Lisa Jackson and her body of work both). For a full schedule visit rmwfilm.org/legacy.

Made possible by the Lori Cohen Endowment, a RMWF Legacy fund.

PATRIMONIO begins in 2015 as a mega development is poised to engulf a small Mexican community with a vast hotel/condo complex called Tres Santos. Marketed to wealthy Americans as “green” and “mindful” Tres Santos threatens to transform and overwhelm the idiosyncratic desert town of Todos Santos, quadrupling its population and causing irreversible damage: not only are the fishermen being forced off the beach they’re used for generations but the developers would also drain an already diminished aquifer, taking drinking water from a town where many residents have little or no access.
