Zapatismo: film & discussion evenings

"On January 1, 1994, thousands of indigenous men and women said" Enough is enough! "And occupied seven cities in Chiapas, a state located in southern Mexico. For two weeks, the Zapatistas, whose name refers to the revolutionary Emiliano Zapata (1879-1919), mobilized with weapons against exploitation, racism and repression. Since then, they have resisted with civil means to improve the situation of the people. The Zapatistas have occupied land belonging to farmers and distributed it to thousands of families and continue to develop their own structures.The Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) has risen to fight for land, health, freedom, democracy, peace and justice, not aspiring to seize state power but demanding a fundamental democratization of the entire society and the end of neoliberal politics. "

This is how the ZAPATISTA movement began, which we want to bring you closer to through documentaries and talks. We invite you to:
