'A Place Called Chiapas’ The Freedom Shop film screening on Friday, 14 February , is a film to celebrate 20 years of autonomous Zapatista communities! 20 years ago, on 1st January 1994, NAFTA came into effect and the Zapatistas condemned it as 'a death sentence for the Indigenous Peoples of Mexico'.  Fighting the effects of 500 years of colonisation, they knew what NAFTA would mean and said no to corporate globalisation. The Zapatista army said “¡Ya Basta!”, “Enough!” and since then the Zapatista have become an international symbol and inspiration for resistance against colonisation and corporate globalisation. In spite of murders, mass killings, rapes, harassment and arrests – despite constant harassment by the state and para-military forces, in spite of anti-Zapatista propaganda and attempts by global powers to vilify them – the autonomous communities of Chiapas continue.  Come along and join in a film viewing and discussion about the Zapatista struggle.
