Documentary Marcos explores EZLN history

The documentary “Marcos. Otro mundo es posible”, directed by Diego Osorno, was recently screened in Mexico City as part of the 21 DOCS MX festival. The film revisits the history of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) and the 1994 uprising, focusing on the figure of Marcos, the hooded spokesperson who once described himself as a fictional character.

The screening coincided with the announcement of a new visit by the EZLN to Mexico City, where members intend to meet with families searching for disappeared persons. The film features perspectives from those who lived through the uprising and explores the collective memory of the movement 33 years later.
