A Place Called Chiapas:
In
1994, the Zapatista National Liberation Army, made up of
impoverished Mayan Indians from the state of Chiapas,
took over five towns and 500 ranches in southern Mexico.
The government deployed its troops and at least 145
people died in the ensuing battle. Filmmaker Nettie Wild
travelled to the country’s jungle canyons to film the
elusive and fragile life of this uprising. 1hr 32min |
