Following years of government corruption and electoral fraud, and the violent eviction of thousands of teachers on strike who had occupied Oaxaca’s city center, a massive community-teacher movement got together and formed an alternative grassroots government. Teachers, students, housewives, Indigenous and rural communities and other sectors of the population have marched in their hundreds of thousands demanding the removal of state governor Ulises Ruiz. Women have played a central role, occupying TV and radio stations. The film shows the ongoing struggle of a united people determined to win and the repression they face: disappearances, murders, including the murder of Indymedia journalist Brad Will, arbitrary detentions, torture and rape.
