KIPTIK PRESENTS
ZAPATISTAS: CHRONICLE OF A REBELLION
(Wed 19th / 7.30pm : £3/2 though no-one turned away through lack of funds)
Film and discussion, introduced by director Mario Viveros.

“Zapatistas: Chronicle of a Rebellion” has a history of its own. The documentary's first version, originally
entitled La Guerra de Chiapas and released in late January 1994, was one of the first journalistic efforts
to present and analyse the Zapatista uprising. Ten years later, in 2004, a second version was released.
This third and updated edition includes images of the Zapatistas' most recent campaign, ‘la otra campaña’.
It also investigates the role of the Zapatistas in the events surrounding the elections of 2006 and their
involvement in the (brutally repressed) social movements in Atenco and Oaxaca. read full story / add a comment

A simple but powerful analysis shows that they are wrong and that we should not increase gaps for better economic performance. read full story / add a comment
