A Place Called Chiapas

[Samael]

Has anybody seen this video? I want to watch it but my local library doesn't have it and my school's library (a community college) doesn't have it. The only place I know of that has it is Netflix but I don't really want to sign up with that because I don't feel like paying $10 a month for just 1 video (I usually don't rent videos). But they have a 2 week trial that's free so I think I'll use that to get the movie.

Back to the point, has anybody seen this and is it any good?

I watched it several times since I first saw it in 2002. Actually, I bought it from Amazon.com and gave it to a friend so he can watch it and he never gave it back so I let him have it. I can watch it anytime though because my public library has several copies of it.

Yes, it is very good. I enjoyed it and it was an inspiration. It is sad too because you can see that the indigenous people in Chiapas are running out of time. There are just not worth anything to the Mexican whore-government. Marcos speaks a lot during that video. He also gets annoyed at his interviewer and snubs her for a while.

It has been referred to in the Viewing List Thread (http://www.revolutionaryleft.com/index.php?showtopic=27331&view=findpost&p=1291857299) in this same forum...

Yeah, it's an excellent doc. I saw it on the Sundance Channel a while ago. It's well worth whatever they're [Netflix] asking for it.

I made a thread on this, http://www.revolutionaryleft.com/index.php...+called+chiapas (http://www.revolutionaryleft.com/index.php?showtopic=34738&hl=a+place+called+chiapas) I really loved the movie, I thought it was great.
