San Esteban Freedom Mysticism and Nopales

"San Esteban: where indigenous farmers face urban adventurers - together reshaping the land, redefining traditions, and forging a joint future"

San Esteban: Freedom, Mysticism and Nopales is a Mexican documentary set in the indigenous town of San Esteban, at the foot of Zapopan's mountains. Rooted in nopales farming and centuries-old traditions, the community now stands at a crossroads as eco-tourists, adventurers, and urban expansion reshape its future. Through intimate voices, striking landscapes, and immersive sound design, the film reveals a quiet revolution in rural Mexico - where heritage is not a relic of the past, but a living force redefining identity, land, and the possibility of coexistence.
