On 22 December 1997, forty-five indigenous residents of the small
Southern Mexican village of Acteal were attending a prayer meeting in
their village church when they were slaughtered by unknown paramilitary
forces. They were members of the pacifist group Las Abejas (The Bees),
who were supporters of the revolutionary Zapatistas but renounced their
violent methods. The investigation into their deaths quickly went
suspiciously cold... Scottish documentary maker Nick Higgins attains unprecedented access to the place, the people, and the story behind a barely-reported atrocity. |
