SINOPSIS

Synopsis:

APPO (Oaxaca’s People Summit) goes through a profound self-organizational experience, which demonstrates that mass movements are capable of resolving critical issues such as the re-organization of the mass media.

The Oaxacan Women’s Committee takes over a government radio station and Channel 9, an immense an important media complex that the former governor of Oaxaca, Ulysses Ruiz ran for his personal use. However, during the Oaxacan uprising these stations belonged to the people.

The PRI has attacked, murdered, raped and stepped on the movement in Oaxaca, today the situation remains unresolved. Brad Will is one of the many martyrs that have died fighting for freedom. This documentary is filmed during the most intense struggle and demonstrates that the powerful and oppressor may murder over and over, but the hope of freedom never dies.

OPINIONS FROM THE ORGANIZERS OF VISUALIZED

We, the Visualized: Messages in Motion Film Festival, in Denver, Colorado screened 'Oaxaca: El Poder de la Comuna' on opening night of our festival.

The crowd found it eye-opening and inspirational. "The success of the people of Oaxaca taking over radio and television was encouraging and exciting!", said one viewer.

It is a spectacular example of what can happen when bosses are not needed, and what people can accomplish when they organize themselves. This whole fiction of
hierarchy needs to be dismantled.

We, in the U.S., need to understand that what happened in Oaxaca is crucial to the survival of the continuing struggle in the world. The sooner Americans see that
people in the world are creating change for a better world, the sooner things may actually change here!

In addition, the high energy soundtrack carried the viewer from scene to scene without allowing the movie to slow down!
