"On January 1st, 1994, the Zapatista National Liberation Army, made 
up of impoverished Mayan Indians from the state of Chiapas, took over 
five towns and 500 ranches in southern Mexico.  The Government 
deployed its troops, and at least 145 people died in the ensuing 
battle.  Fighting for indigenous Mexicans to regain control over 
their lives and the land, the Zapatista Army, led by the charismatic, 
guerrilla poet Subcommandante Marcos, started sending their message 
to the world via the Internet.  The result was what the New York 
Times called "the world's first post-modern revolution."  Filmmaker 
Nettie Wild traveled to the jungle canyons of southern Mexico to film 
the elusive and fragile life of the uprising.  Her camera effectively 
and movingly captures the human dimensions behind this war of 
symbols."
