Digging past the history of division to look at the human beings involved in the conflict, A Place Called Chiapas documents the 1994 uprising of the Zapatista National Liberation Army in Mexico and its aftermath. The movie shows the complexities that led up to the violent confrontation, as Mexican politicians accelerated economic transformations while the indigenous people of the south fought to claim the land of their heritage as their own. Filmmaker Nettie Wild captured some remarkable footage of the rebel forces and shaped it into a vivid portrait of a dramatic, post-NAFTA standoff. "Full of beauty, surprise, irony, sorrow and excruciating tension" (Stuart Klawans, The Nation). In Spanish with English narration and subtitles.  Nettie Wild---Canada---1998---92 mins.
