From the playbill:
From the moutains of Mexico’s southeast, a small band of Zapatistas made their first strike at the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve 1994. With the help of the Internet, news media and hundreds of international NGOs, their struggle still continues for indigenous rights, territorial rights, women’s rights, everything for every oppressed group that is willing to stand up for their beliefs. “I am Mayan in San Cristobal, gay in San Francisco, black in South Africa - any human being in this world who is exploited, marginalized, oppressed, resisting and saying enough! Ya basta!”
