DESCRIPTION:Liberated Lens Film Collective and Chiapas Support Committee presents a  
 program of documentary shorts on the anti-capitalist Resistance in Southern 
 Mexico.  \nThe Resistance shares many of the principles and goals of the 
 Zapatistas movement:  autonomy from the capitalist economy, communalist 
 self-government rooted in indigenous traditions, an end to the 
 subordination of women, respect for the natural world.  Indigenous women 
 are at the forefront of many of these ongoing struggles. \n\n*All of This, 
 We Are Going to Defend \n2018, 15:56\nby Caitlin Manning and Joe Bender \nA

 biodiverse areas of the world. They share information, recuperate and 
 develop techniques of agroecology (permaculture), while resisting the 
 industrial farming practices promoted by the government and Monsanto/Bayer.
