Wow, thanks for this post I’m definitely gonna check out this film! A
lso, I recently saw this other great documentary called “The Other Mexico” that’s about Mexico’s poor and indigenous citizens who have no voice in the political system, and the growing Zapatista movement. It also explores the growing political and socioeconomic crisis which will have far reaching effects for not only Latin America but also the rest of the world.

Thanks for this, I really enjoyed it.

I often wonder when the swing to the Left in Latin America is going to spill over into the US. There are what, twenty million or so working class Mexicans in the US, surely they must feel some connection to the Zapatistas’ struggle. At least that’s what I like to think, because otherwise the US Left looks even more anaemic than its British counterpart.
