________________
"A hip, graphic expose of an inspiring human struggle" - Andrew Davis,
director of The Fugitive.

"A fresh and intelligent look at the Zapatista uprising. . . .Big Noise
transports us to the state of Chiapas and shows us the essence of what has
been occuring there these last years: the collective search for a world
that holds many worlds."
- Javier Elorriaga, Cooridinacion Nacional del FZLN.

"The Reality seen through this camera is more real." - Subcomandante
Marcos

ZAPATISTA! is the definitive look at the uprising in Chiapas, Mexico. It
is the story of how a few thousand Mayan peasants have held the entire
Mexican army at bay for five years, and of how they have transformed the
political culture of Mexico forever.

    Filmed behind the lines of battle, it is the account of a guerrilla
struggle unlike any other. With narration by Darryl Hannah, Edward James
Olmos, Mumia Abu-Jamal and Geronimo Pratt Ji Jaga, interviews with
Subcomandante Marcos, Noam Chomsky as well as rank and file Zapatistas and
American activists, music from Rage Against the Machine and Neil Young &
Crazy Horse, and an agile, multilayered editing style, ZAPATISTA!
translates this ancient story of resistance into the language of popular
culture.

___________
All profits from ZAPATISTA! will return to the people of Chiapas in the
form of humanitarian aid, providing much needed food and medical supplies
to the indigenous communities.
