"Inside the world's first postmodern revolution"
In 1994, the Zapatista National Liberation Army, made up of impoverished Mayan Indians from the state of Chiapas, took over five towns and 500 ranches in southern Mexico.

Filmmaker Nettie Wild travelled to the country's jungle canyons to film the elusive and fragile life of this uprising.
