A mini-documentary documenting the long-awaited arrival of clean drinking water in Los Ranchos, León. Recommended for the project by a fellow photographer, I traveled to León to capture this three-year milestone for the community.
Filming during an active community celebration presented weather and audio challenges on location. By staying flexible and working behind the scenes, I captured raw, authentic moments—quiet prayers, emotional speeches, and children turning on the tap for the first time—without staging or interrupting the celebration.
