About the Film:
Indigenous people in Mexico put up a fight with the Zapatista uprising; the women put up an even bigger fight within. After the Revolution is a unique documentary showing the impact on their lives today through one very special family.
Since 2006, the film’s director and editor, Leticia Agudo, together with producer and animator Paul McGrath, both from production company Whackala, had been researching and filming on and off in the Southern Mexican region of Chiapas where the Zapatista indigenous uprising happened in 1994.
They wanted to find indigenous Mayan women from the region who had been involved in and affected by the uprising to see how their lives had changed. The 52-minute film was finished in December 2008 and broadcast on Spanish TV on January 19th 2009.
