The revolution of Emiliano Zapata

Its early 19th century Mexico and there is rampant corruption within the unstable government of the nation. Mexico is "modernized" with an economic boom but this is at the cost of certain social liberties of the working class of Mexico which mostly consists of the indigenous population. Then comes into the picture a young man that wants to change this corruption of power and give it the people of the land, he first tries it by legal means and the power of law but when this proves to be of no avail he is left with no other option but to raise arms and take things into his own hands all in the name of the indigenous working class. Tune in to hear about the revolutionary story of Emiliano Zapata, a struggle that lives on up to this day and has sparked and inspired countless other revolutions throughout south America and the world.
