Indigenous people everywhere have something in common: Colonialism stole their land! In 1994, the indigenous people of Chiapas, Mexico, formed a resistance group, the Zapatistas, to reclaim their land and form their own government. No one is allowed in! 30 years later, it is still forbidden to set foot in these Zapatista communities.

But... a small team of women managed to integrate and create links in a Zapatista community and make an intimate film to see how autonomy is going after 30 years of resistance.

30 years after the Zapatista struggle, these indigenous communities of Chiapas are still resisting oppression. How do the children of those who led this struggle still manage to be autonomous and thus take charge of their health, their religion, their education, their diet and torule for themselves?

This film is the meeting with Ernesto and Mich with whom we immerse ourselves in the life of their community where resistance is the result of an inspiring autonomy which is more than necessary in this era of globalization and loss of cultural identity.
