Focus Years: 2008 | Country: United States
Synopsis:
"Those With Voice" documents the voice of Indigenous people and the current efforts in the southern Mexican states of Oaxaca and Chiapas to produce what social scientists have dubbed "Indigenous media."
A pacifist group of radio engineers travel for days in order to man the transmitter cabin in the hills of Chiapas, providing the surrounding communities with information about current events, family health, and national politics. An archaeologist in Massachusetts explains how his field has changed throughout the twentieth century. An international film festival brings together visionaries from twenty-three countries, including a girl from Finland searching for love, and a Cree man working to keep his peoples' oral history alive.
These stories illustrate the complexities of the Indigenous experience today while at the same time promoting the universality of the human spirit. Through it all we find the undeniable desire to speak and be heard.
This DVD also contains 13 minutes of "Voice Through Film," a short clip that further emphasizes the importance of media access and dissemination.
