Based on a case study from the Valley of Mexico, the film inquires into the problem of water pollution in Mexico, and that despite the fact that Mexico City was founded on a lake, outside help is needed to fill it.[4] ReleaseH2Omx had its international premiere in October 2013 at the 11th Morelia International Film Festival.[5] It was commercially released on August 28, 2014, in Mexican theaters.[6] ReceptionCritical receptionAlisa Simon from Variety wrote : "A rallying cry for government and collective action, H2Omx is a good-looking, well-researched and smartly assembled documentary that makes a persuasive case that the time is nigh to remedy the status of water management in the Valley of Mexico."[7] Josue Corro from Time Out México wrote: "H2Omx does not try to find solutions, but to raise awareness about the future. The honest way of dealing with a problem –without political charges, or sensationalism– places this documentary as a work that goes beyond the genetics of school or television documentaries, and projects it as an informative and relevant film on the history of Mexico City."[8] Accolades
