The Zapatistas are Coming


This Sunday, 15 of the Zapatista sub-commandantes are coming out of the forest and coming to Tierradentro to make an announcement about the next phase of their "Other Campaign". Tierradentro happens to be the organization for which I work for. Work came to me yesterday that I needed to figure out a way to webcast the live event with three days to do it.

Cameras, cables, lights are going up all over as documentary makers, teleconferences with Honduras and Brazil, reporters, and we try to put together a media event on a budget in days.

A national newspaper La Journal leaked the story yesterday. Police and military vehicles have been driving past often. It's difficult to know what will come to pass Sunday, if anything at all, but rest assured I'll be in the center of it and you'll know everything as soon as I do.

Back to work.
