We
have had a number of opportunities over the years to work with the remarkable
youth Professional Television Training Program (Pro-TV) at the Downtown
Community Television Center in New York. For this particular trip we took
a group of New York City high school students to Chiapas, Mexico. The
Zapatista rebel movement in Chiapas was celebrating the fifth anniversary
of its inception, so Pro-TV went to Chiapas to produce a documentary about
the Zapatista cause. The Zapatista rebels became known to the world in
1994, when they took Chiapas by force in protest to Mexico's signing of
the Free Trade Agreement. |
