A Place called Chiapas

A Place Called Chiapas is a documentary exploring the elusive and fragile revolution led by Zapatista National Liberation Army rebels in Chiapas, Mexico. In 1994, the Zapatistas and their charismatic leader, guerrilla poet Subcomandante Marcos, launch an uprising to protest the plight of the indigenous Maya people. The Mexican government lead by President Zedillo responds with 30,000 troops, and right-wing death squads terrorize Zapatista sympathizers.

  • "La réalisatrice Nettie Wild "[...] et son équipe vont parcourir pendant huit mois les montagnes et la jungle du Chiapas, pour chercher à comprendre cette autre insurrection, la première à utiliser l'espace cybernétique pour faire valoir ses revendications. Et surtout, la première à s'opposer par là au processus de mondialisation tel qu'il se présente dans cette partie du Mexique au lendemain de l'ALENA. Nettie dira plus tard qu'elle était partie filmer une insurrection mais qu'elle reviendra avec un document sur les pièges du processus révolutionnaire. La peur, l'espoir et les rêves marquent les étapes de ces voyages [...]"--site Web de l'ONF (rubrique : Documentaire)"

  • "On January 1, 1994, the Zapatista National Liberation Army--made up of impoverished Mayan Indians from the state of Chiapas--took over five towns and 500 ranches in southern Mexico. The government deployed its troops, and at least 145 people died in the ensuing battle. Fighting for indigenous Mexicans to regain control over their lives and the land, the Zapatistas and their charismatic leader, guerilla poet Subcomandante Marcos, began sending their message to the world via the Internet. The result was what The New York Times called "the worldʼs first postmodern revolution." Years into the uprising, filmmaker Nettie Wild traveled to the jungle canyons of southern Mexico to film the elusive and fragile life of the rebellion. Her camera effectively and movingly captures the personal stories behind a very public clash of traditional culture and globalization."

  • "Documentary on the Zapatista uprising in Chiapas, Mexico filmed over an eight month period. The bravery and creativity of the indigenous people in this area of Mexico is breathtaking.

  • "Regard sur le mexique "moderne" du président Zedillo, réalisé au cours d'un tournage de 8 mois, qui s'est fait dans la peur, l'espoir et l'illusion. Le 1er janvier 1994, lors de l'entrée en vigueur de l'ALENA, l'Armée de libération nationale Zapatiste (EZLN) occupe cinq villes et 500 ranches dans le sud du Mexique, réclamant le contrôle de leurs vies (éducation, santé, droits indigènes) et de la terre. Trois ans plus tard, les Zapatistes et leur leader charismatique, le guerillero poète Subcomandante Marcos, sont piégés dans la jungle de Locandon. Encerclés par 30,000 soldats mexicains, ils luttent pour maintenir un cessez-le-feu nerveux. Malgré les pourparlers de paix en cours, ces centaines de rebelles continuent à être tués par des "escadrons de la mort" paramilitaires."
  • "The uprising on January 1st 1994, by the Indios in Chiapas, one of the poorest regions of Mexico, was not unimagineable. The Indios wanted to draw attention to their violent oppression and unabated exploitation by occupying 5 towns and nearly 500 farms. Nearly 3 years later, Nettie Wild spent eight months investigating the fragile peace and difficult conditions of life there. Wild interviewed Marcos, the Zapatistas' intellectual leader and Bishop Samuel Ruiz Garcia, a supporter of human rights for the Indios. Wild also interviewed large landowners whose terror organization "Peace and Justice" wages a violent campaign against the desparate struggles of the Zapatistas."@en

Here the filmmaker, who traveled to the jungle canyons of Southern Mexico to cover the uprising, effectively captures the human dimensions behind the war."
