News Report on Mexico, December 1994. EZLN returns to militarized activity in Chiapas with the appointment of a new PRI governor to that state. To foster a closer examination of the recent Mexican elections, there is a reading from the November 'Latin American News Update' that exposes injustices and even electoral fraud in the PRI dominated elections. Reports have surfaced in 'Excelsior' that there were patterned anomalies in the election's voting records, representing a culture electoral impunity. Rural elections were significantly less clean than those in urban areas; in widespread cases, ballots were not marked, polls were not opened on time, and re-voting and violations of secret ballot were allowed.
Reading of a December 10, 1994 article from 'Peace Net' by Herman Bellinghausen. This article reports the EZLN's remilitarization and notification of civilian areas for future war under Geneva Convention procedures. Bellinghausen notes mass population movements, town preparations, and a large army presence in Chiapas. U.S. Human Rights Watch condemns the U.S. and other Western powers for putting trade before human rights.

With exclusive access and interviews with Subcomandante Marcos, Noam Chomsky and others, Zapatista is the definitive look at the Zapatista uprising, its historical roots and its lessons for the present and the future.
January 1, 1994. The day the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) comes into effect. A few minutes after midnight in Southeastern Mexico,several thousand Mayan soldiers take over half the state of Chiapas, declaring a war against the global corporate power they say rules Mexico. They call themselves the Zapatista National Liberation Army(EZLN).
Zapatista is the definitive look at the uprising in Chiapas. It is the story of a Mayan peasant rebellion armed with sticks and their word against a first world military. It is the story of a global movement that has fought 175,000 federal troops to a standstill and transformed Mexican and international political culture forever.
FeaturingInterviews with: Subcomandante Marcos, Noam Chomsky, Comandante Tacho,David and Zebedeo, Mayor Insurgente Ana Maria, Javier Elorriaga, Zachde la Rocha.
