Boat Fight in Mexico
In the heart of Mexico’s capital city sits Xochimilco, a borough celebrated for two things: chinampas, floating man-made gardens full of vegetables, fruits, and flowers; and trajineras, multi-hued flat-bottomed watercrafts, which resemble a Venetian rowing boat. The long-used chinampa agricultural system, within the canals of Lake Xochimilco, is evidence of the district’s precolonial roots, which has earned Xochimilco a spot on the World Heritage Site list. However several young people can be seen hitting each other before the eyes of trajineros and people who were near the place. "Güey!" Says a man while recording what happened, then a woman is heard shouting: "Leave it." In another video, some adolescents are shown changing their trajinera, while the fight continues without the intervention of an authority being appreciated. In the clip, a woman can be seen intervening to stop hitting her partner. "Let it go," is heard at the end of the recording. |
