Leave your thoughts about A Place Called Chiapas.
| Internet ReviewsSteve RhodesAs enigmatic as its subject material, the documentary makes the place seem like a cross between a new Revolutionland area of Disneyland and a local folk festival. |
| Film Journal InternationalMaria GarciaAn important film that demands national exposure, although it's weaknesses are all too clear to an educated observer. |
| User ReviewDaniel MI had never thought of it as a Postmodern revolution until this film. |
| User ReviewEmrah GZapatistalar vardı bi, n'ooldu onlara? |
| User ReviewReynaldo MA rather insightful look at the EZLN and the happenings relating to the movement. The film gives some good commentary from both sides of the conflict, allowing for viewers to get a really good idea of the situation as whole. All I can really say is; "watch it and see for yourself." |
| User ReviewDao Nvery entertaining documentary about first months of Zapatista uprising in Chiapas, Mexico in 1994. very inteligent. very sincer |
| User ReviewLeo LAn excellent film! This is most memorable and a very interesting topic about the people in Chiapas! |
| User ReviewDonald QA gritty and moving look into a civil war raging in the heart of southern Mexico. You will be alarmed at what you see. This documentary is one of my favorites. It does not comdemn either side but presents it to the viewer as a good documentary should. Amazing, with cinematic moments that make it remarkable. A must see. VIVA LA ZAPATISTA! |
| User ReviewColm MAn honest attempt to grasp the truth, but still cloudy. During the San Cristobal incident there was bloodshed on both sides. Was it the last time? The bottom line - if the zapatista are peaceful how do they manage to keep control? |
| User ReviewHadil Sit's that little place we never hear of in Mexico, where a lot of unforgiving things happen and we don't know about them and we never take actions. to know how politics and injustice rule the world in a weird way, Chiapas is the proof. |
