about Zapatista:

"Mere minutes after the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) went into effect on January 1, 1994, a powerful army of Mayan soldiers overthrew half of the Southeastern Mexican state of Chiapas to wage war against corporate superpowers. This is the story of the Zapatista National Liberation Army and the bold steps they took to stand up to a first world military power. Armed with little more than sticks, stones, and their word, the Zapatista National Liberation Army brought pause to 175,000 federal troupes before changing the face of international politics forever, and now the story is told from the mouths of those who were there to witness this historical confrontation firsthand."


about The Fourth World War:

"From the front-lines of conflicts in Mexico, Argentina, South Africa, Palestine, Korea, and the North; from Seattle to Genova, and the War on Terror in New York, Afghanistan, and Iraq, The Fourth World War is the story of men and women around the world who resist being annihilated in this war.

While our airwaves are crowded with talk of a new world war, narrated by generals and filmed from the noses of bombs, the human story of this global conflict remains untold. The Fourth World War brings together the images and voices of the war on the ground. It is a story of a war without end and of those who resist.

The product of over two years of filming on the inside of movements on five continents, The Fourth World War is a film that would have been unimaginable at any other moment in history. Directed by the makers of This Is What Democracy Looks Like and Zapatista, produced through a global network of independent media and activist groups, it is a truly global film from our global movement."
