The Guardian of the Monarchs is a sick reminder of the injustice that innocent and noble people face when it comes to defending their own communities from the evil Mexican cartels. Homero was a kind soul, dedicating his life to the Monarch butterflies and protecting the forests that they need to survive. In the documentary, it shows how the butterflies would even land on him. It's as if they knew he really was their guardian. He didn't want to cause harm to anyone, rather people to come together to fight for the same cause- protecting the butterfly trees against illegal logging. The cartel wanted to tear all those trees down to make use of the wood- illegally. That's why they saw Homero as a threat, which led to his twisted murder. Overall, his legacy must live on. This documentary was filmed so beautifully, despite the story being worthy of shedding tears (especially at the end when his son speaks). If you want Homero's legacy to live on, please watch this on Netflix.
