“By documenting the production of panela (a raw brown sugar), with which we sweeten our food and drinks, this video offers a glimpse of life in my indigenous community, where work, happiness, and suffering is shared.

The video discusses the situation in the town of Bolon Aja'aw, located in the north of the state near the famous Agua Azul river system. The federal government sold the land in Bolon Aja'aw to a private company to create an eco-tourism centre without the permission of the community members.

“In early 1994, almost by chance, we reached the Silva Reservoir in San Francisco del Rincón, in the state of Guanajuato, Mexico, and were met by a heartrending site: hundreds of dead and dying birds scattered throughout the area.

For more then 500 years indigenous people in Chiapas have been struggling to regain ownership of their lands. Until the Zapatista uprising in 1994, most indigenous people in Chiapas existed by working on large plantations for rich landowners. “The Sacred Land” describes what life was like on these plantations. It includes stories that go back four generations about slavery-like conditions in which people worked for the rancheros. Produced in the autonomous municipality of "November 17th" and edited by indigenous video makers, The Sacred Land helps provide a context for the events of 1994 through unique insight into the past. Community members reflect on how life has changed since 1994 and express their hopes and dreams for their collective future.
