Un Poquito De Tanta Verdad (A Little Bit of So Much Truth) (93 min) 2007, By Jill Friedberg, Winner of Grand Prize, International Documentary Film Festival, Santiago, Cuba; First Prize Encuentro Hispanoamericano de Documental Independiente, Mexico City, Mexico; Special Jury Prize, Intl. Documentary Film Festival Tres Continentes, Caracas, VZ; Grand Prize, Miradas en el Movimiento 2008, Oaxaca, Mexico
This film shows the role of the fight for community/labor control of media in the struggle in Oaxaca in 2006 and 2007. We look at workers, peasants and activists fighting to get their voices on the airwaves about their struggle for survival and justice.
