La Voix des sans-voix

For over four years now, some Maya peoples invite as many people as they can to listen to their voice, their demands and show solidarity for their quest for democracy, justice and freedom. This documentary tries to reflect the reality of the zapatista peasants from the south of Mexico : marginalization, repression and oppression... This film shows some aspects of the life of the rural population resisting in the mountains, the jungle and the so-called region north of Chiapas. The first part presents various initiatives in rural areas which help understanding the zapatistas communities' economic and social situations and necessities. It also presents a divided community and the problems caused by the government's strategy. The second part is dedicated to focusing on the low intensity war in three particular cases where Zapatistas or supporters were violently attacked by Priistas, police or paramilitary (Paz y Justicia). The witnesses of these agressions come from Pantelho, El Paraiso and San Pedro Nixtalucum.
