La Clinica, BAVC, and ZeroDivide collaborated on an initiative called the Digital Storytelling Institute in 2007. "Grupo de Hombres" is a documentary that was created as part of the program. The effort is similar in form and focus to that of the group's New Routes project, "Abriendo las Cajas." Members of a community-based men’s group share how the group has transformed their lives and improved their relationships with their families. La Clinica completed the documentary, had it captioned in English and screened it at a local community event and at an international conference in Mexico – both times to overwhelmingly positive responses.
