- The award winner Japanese architect Toyo Ito designed the International Baroque Museum in Puebla, Mexico. He is well known for his majestic buildings in Europe and Asia that rise with nature inspired geometry and complex shapes that could belong in a fantasy. Nobody knew how to build this project until a team of Mexican constructors accepted the challenge after two years of nobody stepping up to it. But there was a catch. They only had 27 weeks to build something comparable to the Guggenheim in NYC. This is the story of that team who tested the Mexican genius to solve a complex puzzle told by the men and women who made it. On time. On a budget. Against all odds.
- On April 29, 2013, Héctor Ponce de León, Mexican mountaineer and three-time conqueror of Everest, set a world record ascending non-stop from sea level in Veracruz to 5,700 meters (18,700 ft.) to the summit of the Pico de Orizaba, the highest peak in Mexico, in 15 hours and 22 minutes. Phase one: road bike. Phase two: mountain bike. Phase three: Running. Phase four: summit attack on foot. Nowhere else in the world had such a drastic elevation gain been attempted in so little time. The challenge provides an opportunity to get to know this ordinary, modest character, deemed interesting for his motivations and his past, through the eyes of family members, colleagues and experts.
