The Yorkshire Zapatistas held another successful event in Bradford raising awareness about Zapatista Struggle in Mexico.

Zapatista coffee, crafts and copies of the film 'Viva Mexico!' are available at the Treehouse Shop, 2 Ashgrove, Bradford, BD7 1BN (opposit the Uni sports centre)

On Friday 6th May around 30 people came down to the 1in12 Club, Bradford to watch 'Viva Mexico!' a film about Zapatista and indigenous struggle in Mexico.

Film director Nico Defosse introduced the film and answered questions after the showing. The documentary follows Sub-Comandante Marcos as he travelled around southern Mexico in 2006 as part of 'The Other Campaign' which sought to create a network of movements in Mexico of indiginous people engaged in struggle against the oppression of the state government.

Before the film a vegan dinner of peanut stew was served in the cafe where an exhibition of photos from Chiapas Indymedia was on display, plus Zapatista crafts and copies of the film were on sale.

After the film showing and question and answer session there was chocolate cake and zapatista coffee in the cafe. In the bar the Ned Ludd soundsystem provided some funky beats while two local teams took on mexico in a mini league of table football - Mexico were victorious, although the women's team put on a mighty show of talent.
