Video Description:
April 1994
Mexico's Indian population is demanding a better life.
Masked Zappatistas rebels meet government officials in San Cristobal Town Hall. Zappatista leader Marcos sits quietly to one side smoking his trademark pipe. Land is the core of the dispute which has seen rising tension among indigenous Mexican Indians. In the Chiapas mountains Indian villagers te

In Altamirano the military presence fills every street. Tanks and guns advertise the might of the go
vernment should the Zappatistas demand too much. Some of the poorest Indians take up the fight and camp outside San Cristobal's town hall; they graffiti its walls with their grievances. Chiapas is divided, military roadblocks restrict daily life.
