Speech
by Subcomandante Marcos, 11 March 2001, Mexico City
After years of struggle, in March 2001 the Zapatistas marched
into Mexico City to demand rights for Mexico's indigenous
people. Here we include the text of the historic
speech made as part of that event. |

Video
Coverage of the Zapatista Taking of Mexico City
A Storm from the Mountain is a new one-hour tactical
video piece from the IMC movement, cut by Big Noise Films and
the Chiapas Media Project on the road with the EZLN. From the
jungles and mountains of Chiapas to the crowded plazas of
Mexico's cities, STORM follows the Zapatistas' historic march
on the capitol in February and March of 2001. It brings us
from the 500 year-old indigenous struggle in Chiapas to a
global struggle against neoliberalism and corporate power. It
invites us to read ourselves into the struggle, not as an
outsider, but as a participant - as a Zapatista fighting for
democracy and humanity, for dignity and hope in our own
corners of the world. Storm is a mobilizing tool for
Zapatistas everywhere. Screening copies are available to
activists interested in planning organizing events or
fundraisers (check out www.bignoisefilms.com
for more info). It is currently being streamed on FreeSpeech
TV (www.freespeech.org). |
