On July 14th Un
Poquito de Tanta Verdad will premiere in
Oaxcaa, Mexico, a year and one month after the strikes
and protesting began. The struggle continues in Oaxaca
today...
In the summer of 2006, a broad-based, non-violent, popular
uprising exploded in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca.
Some compared it to the Paris Commune, while others called
it the first Latin American revolution of the 21st century.
But it was the people’s use of the media that truly
made history in Oaxaca. Un Poquito de Tanta Verdad
(A Little Bit of So Much Truth) captures the unprecedented
media phenomenon that emerged when thousands of school
teachers, housewives, indigenous communities, health
workers, farmers, and students took 14 radio stations
and one TV station into their own hands, using them to
organize, mobilize, and ultimately defend their grassroots
struggle for social, cultural, and economic justice.
From the producer of Granito de Arena and This is What
Democracy Looks Like, in collaboration with Oaxacan media
collective MaldeOjoTV,
comes this intimate, breathtaking account of the revolution
that was televised and that gave new meaning to the phrase “Be
the Media.”
The estimated release date for the complete DVD, with
multiple subtitle options, is September, 2007. Please
visit the Contact
Us page if you would like to receive an email when
the film is done or if you would like to plan a screening
of the film in your community!
