The late Howard Zinn once said that the "Zapatista uprising in Chiapas was certainly one of the most dramatic and imporatant instances in our time of a genuine grassroots movement against oppression." For me the uprising of the EZLN (Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional/ Zapatista Army of National Liberation) in 1994 was the first movement in opposition to neoliberalism, genocide and greed that I was able to watch unfold in my lifetime. They continue to inspire me as their steadfast commitment to creating a movement for self-deterimination and automony for the Indigenous people of Mexico pushes against a variety of forces. This is a portrait of a young boy with an EZLN ski mask.
