Riviera Nayarit, Mexico - In Riviera Nayarit our luxury is our nature and the magic of our people. This magic caught the attention of French documentary maker and environmentalist Yann Arthus-Bertrand (Paris, 1946) who chose Mexcaltitán as one of the locations for his new production, entitled "Human." The project is expected to make its debut in the social networks in 2015.
The production involved obtaining interviews with the residents of this charming corner of Riviera Nayarit as well as aerial footage, throughout the month of March. These will be part of his documentary, which focuses on portraying everyday life - the dreams, hopes and concerns of human beings all around the globe.
"We have to admit that even though we live in the middle of the information era with its constant flow of data, we know so very little about each other. How can we improve the future of the world if we're completely unaware of the lives of our neighbors? My idea is to hand the microphone to those who don't usually get a chance to say their word," explained Arthus-Bertrand on the objectives of this new documentary.
The choice of Riviera Nayarit as one of the locations for "Human" represents a strong asset in tourism promotion, as this filmmaker uses social networks to promote his documentaries. He distributes them for free, generating massive circulation. His first movie, "Home," has already been watched by 600 million people around the world.
The Convention and Visitors Bureau of Riviera Nayarit provided logistics support for this documentary, convinced that the exposure brought by the film will attract tourism and promote the harmonious development of all the people of the state, as instructed by the Governor for the People, Roberto Sandoval Castañeda.
