Zapatista Women

The documentary runs for 30 minutes and captures the voices of Zapatista women as they discuss the living conditions faced by Mexican indigenous populations and the specific challenges encountered by peasant women. Set against the backdrop of the April 1994 uprising in the Lacandona Jungle, the film emphasizes the reasons behind their fight for rights and recognition.

As a work by a woman director, 'Zapatista Women' contributes to the representation of female perspectives within documentary filmmaking. The film's focus on social and political issues makes it relevant for those interested in feminist narratives and indigenous rights.
