In the summer of 2006, a non-violent, broad-based popular uprising exploded in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca. Some compared it to the Paris Commune, while others called it the first Latin American revolution of the 21st century.But it was the "people's" use of the media that truly made history in Oaxac. "A Little Bit of So Much Truth" capture the unprecedented phenomenon that emerged when tens of thousands of teachers, housewives, indigenous communities, health workers, farmers, and students took over 14 radio stations and one television station, using them to organize, mobilize, and ultimately defend their grassroots struggle for social, cultural, and economic justice. From the award-winning producer of "Grain of Sand" and "This is What Democracy Looks Like," comes this intimate, breathtaking account of the revolution that was televised.
