In Mexico’s heartland, a community is mourning the deaths of three girls from leukemia, all in the span of a year. Elia, the local kindergarten teacher, and Nely, a mother who nearly lost her newborn, form a group of women seeking an investigation. They’re met with resistance from government officials denying an underlying cause. Dr. Adrián Ortega, a hydrogeologist from the National University of Mexico supports their cause. After rigorous testing, they find that the water contains radioactive material exceeding safety standards by 300%. Their journey leads to a greater revelation: industrial farms have drained the region’s aquifers, leaving behind a poisonous source of drinking water.
