DESCRIPTION:Synopsis (from the Canal 6 de Julio website):\n\n\nThis video analyzes the 
 events in San Salvador Atenco during the first days of May, 2006 and 
 denounces the violation of the civilian population’s human rights by 
 state and federal police forces. The documentary deconstructs the mass 
 media’s operating methods, which were responsible for creating a climate 
 of fear and an information blockade on the events in San Salvador Atenco, 
 in the midst of an especially delicate situation: the 2006 process of 
 presidential succession in Mexico.\n\nNOTE: Much of the violence in Atenco 
 was captured by television cameras, but few outside of Mexico have seen 
 this footage. The filmmakers present not only the in-the-street shots of 
 police savagely beating “anything that moved,” but also clips of the 
 commercial news anchors flagrantly calling out for more repression of the 
 popular movement from the state. Combined with Canal 6 de Julio and 
 Promedios’ own work investigating the scene in Atenco and interviewing 
 many of the townspeople, this is a powerful document of a turning point in 
 Mexican history.\n\nAccompanied by another recent short film documenting 
 atrocities committed in Atenco.\n\nAlong with brief presentations by and 
 after- film conversation with several Bay Area groups in support of the 
 Zapatista's Other Campaign and radical resistance in Mexico.\n\nAll 
 donations go directly to Oaxaca and Atenco\nmore info on ATENCO - BREAKING
