Zapatista movement documentary release

Overview

Director Diego Enrique Osorno presented the documentary ‘Marcos: Otro mundo es posible’ at the Morelia International Film Festival and DocsMX. The film examines the legacy of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) and Subcomandante Marcos, tracing the movement from the 1994 uprising in Chiapas to the present day through an analysis of approximately 3,000 archives.

In connection to the film, it was announced that a delegation of over 1,500 Zapatistas would travel from the Lacandon Jungle to Mexico City in December for a mobilization titled ‘Encuentro-Abrazo’ to show solidarity with families of the disappeared. Recent screenings in Mexico City as part of the 21 DOCS MX festival coincided with the announcement of this visit, where members intend to meet with families searching for disappeared persons.

Netflix subsequently announced it will release the documentary on December 2, 2026. The production utilizes over 5,000 hours of archival footage, including previously unreleased material, to cover historical milestones such as the San Andrés Accords and the 1997 Acteal massacre. The film also examines the collective organization of indigenous communities and their ongoing social, political, and economic demands.
