A Cry for Freedom and Democracy
Made in Chiapas by Cheche Martinez between January 6 and 12, 1994, this video follows human rights activists, journalists and family members as they try to gain access to the militarily blockaded region. Residents of Chiapas who witnessed the Mexican Army’s indiscriminate brutality following the New Year’s Day Zapatista uprising give their first hand accounts of the ongoing repression of indigenous areas before and after the uprising. An eyewitness account you won’t see on TV.
1994 TRT: 28 minutes #254
