Casos de violencia contra comunidades indigenas de Chiapas (1998) **

Directed by Carlos Martinez Suarez. Under a somewhat awkward title hides a fascinating documentary about the civil war in south-east Mexico. Amazing video footage, shot guerilla-style, shows Maya peasants, armed only with their courage and a vast vocabulary of profanities, verbally assaulting government soldiers in their tanks.
