Netflix to release EZLN and Subcomandante Marcos documentary

Netflix has announced the release of the documentary ‘Marcos: Otro mundo es posible’ on December 2, 2026. Directed by journalist Diego Enrique Osorno, the film explores the history of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) and its emblematic spokesperson, Subcomandante Marcos.

The production utilizes over 5,000 hours of archival footage, including previously unreleased material, to reconstruct more than three decades of the movement. It covers key historical milestones from the 1994 armed uprising in Chiapas to the present day, including the San Andrés Accords and the 1997 Acteal massacre.

Beyond the individual figure of Marcos, the documentary examines the collective dimension of Zapatismo, the organization of indigenous communities, and the ongoing relevance of their social, political, and economic demands.
