Cambridge Educational - Chiapas: The Inside Story

Chiapas: The Inside Story

This documentary examines the 30-year rebellion and conflict between the Mexican government and the indigenous population in Chiapas through interviews with village residents, journalists, politicians, and rebel Zapatista leaders. The area’s tumultuous history is traced from the Mexican Revolution to the present, as allegations of massacres by government troops continue to dominate the headlines. Zapatista leaders and members of various local organizations discuss the source of the struggle—their demand for agricultural autonomy over lands currently owned by wealthy Mexicans and foreigners. (Spanish with English subtitles, 61 minutes)
