In the memory of Brad Will.

Everyone has to know what happened. His murder must not be silenced.

Brad got killed for a cause, this film is a partial, yet crucial intention to explain what is happening in on the most poor state of southern Mexico, along with Chiapas.

"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 viewers.

“The film documentary is a brilliant visual narrative describing the uprising and popular assembly that emerged from the teachers struggle in the city of Oaxaca, Mexico between may-November 2006. The story is told by the activists and militants involved. Provides a close-up understanding of the meaning and passion of working peoples struggle

I highly recommend the film for libraries, universities and all citizens interested in social justice.
