EjƃĀ©rcito Zapatista de LiberaciƃĀ³n Nacional [The Zapatista Army of National Liberation] >>>EZLN<<< ...See also: "A Place Called Chiapas" >and "Storm from the Mountain" Ya Basta - Viva Zapata Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Very important film; not that cinematically impressive, but that's not the point. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member a good, informative documentary because it contains interviews with hard-to-reach "fugitives from justice" and educates the public about an issue it is ignoring. but it mostly fails as a scholarly endeavor because it is wholly populist and one-sided, completely ignoring the stances of the mexican government and the world bank, and it fails on the artistic front because it is presented in tacky fashion, like a high-school news feature. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Cast: Richard Rowley? Well, at least it's here. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member An enlightening film about an egalitarian, brilliant, exploited, and misunderstood people. The indigenous of Mexico should not be forgotten. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
