A Place Called Chiapas Video A Place Called Chiapas Video This video was a very I opening piece on the situation in the Mexican territory known as Chiapas. I had heard a small amount of things about the problems previous to seeing the video and now realize that I had seen and heard was only the tip of the iceberg. Previously, I had only been told by the media that it was an independence movement by some indigenous peoples of southern Mexico. After watching the Chiapas video I now know the conditions leading to the rebellion in 1994 and how things have progressed since. I admire the makers of the video for not only showing one side of the conflict. In the video I saw the viewpoints of the Zapatista militia, the former ranchland owners, common people, government, and anti-Zapatista militia. This multi-faceted approach is, in my opinion, the most appropriate way to gain a less tainted overall view of any problem. This video really helped me to understand that the Zapatistas are not after complete atounomy, but, are after some self governance, more assistance video, government, chiapas, mexican, after, united, things, thing, states, should, representation, problems, overall, one, now, militia, mexico, heard, anti-zapatista, zapatista, way, watching, violations, viewpoints, view, video, very, understand, told, tip, think, territory, tainted, support, supplement, subject, strong, stick, southern, small, situation, since, side, showing, self, seen, seeing, saw, rights, relation
