The idea behind the latest documentary film, directed and edited by Eugenio Polgovsky, came after the completion of the 21-minure short Un salto a la vida (A waterfall for Life) (2014). Shocked by the situation, he decides in the Robert Flaherty’s way in Nanook of the North, 1922, to spend time with a local family. So, Resurrección accounts that, besides showing the destruction and health problems caused by the river Santiago pollution, it was also necessary to expose the collective memory loss within the El Salto and Juanacatlán communities as result of an alleged progress only benefical to big corporations. The paper proposes to analyze the meaning of the film bringing a socio-ecological link between water supply and a certain kind of disease as cause of death in a segment of the Jalisco population.
