ITEM OVERVIEW
Storm is a beautiful and empowering new video documenting the historic three weeks in Mexico from February 24 to March 11. Following the Zapatista caravan as it journeyed through 12 Mexican states, visiting their indigenous communities along the way and eventually arriving in Mexico City to be greeted by over 100,000 people, the video tells the story of the 24 unarmed, ski-masked rebel leaders, joined by thousands of indigenous, Mexican, and international supporters in their mission to address members of the Mexican government to demand democracy, liberty, and justice for the indigenous peoples of Mexico. Featuring, amongst many others, Subcommandante Marcos, Commandantes Tacho, Zebedeo, and Esther, interviews with Javier Elloriaga (FZLN), Lydia Brazon (Humanitarian Law Project), and author John Ross.
