- Summary:
- "What does immigration look like from the other side, way on the other side? From the point of view of a Tzotzil speaking family in the highlands of Chiapas, Mexico's southernmost, most indigenous and poorest state. Two short documentaries and a series of 'extensions', historical or analytic mini-documentaries, try to find out; primarily through multivalent views within the family: young and old, male and female, traditional and mestizized, those struggling for autonomy and those not. The 'extensions' bring in yet other views: anthropologists, historians, researchers and activists look at the broader political and economic factors - NAFTA, Mexico's switch to a neo-liberal economic and agricultural policy, population, the history of exploitation of indigenous labor. And always as a backdrop, the struggle for dignity and autonomy."--Broken Branches website.
