This short (30 min) movie features interviews of women insurgents of the Zapatista National Liberation Army (EZLN). The EZLN is a militant group of indigenous peoples in Mexico fighting for better living conditions. This movie introduces us to the conditions facing indigenous women in Mexico, and how those women plan to change them.
