This documentary is a trip into the perilous state of Chiapas in southern Mexico which focuses on the Zapatist Army and its leader, Marcos. The interviews with farmers who fear they will be murdered by government troops are moving, and a press conference in which tape recordings of death threats are played is disturbing. The background of the rebellion in Chiapas is told concisely with most of the film consisting of atmospheric footage showing life in the troubled and violent region Streaming available through Tubi, Amazon Prime, and YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYgd9_Mr-LU as of 9/12/2019.
