Descargar Viva Zapata! (1952)

In 1909, Emiliano Zapata, a well-born but penniless Mexican Mestizo from the southern state of Morelos, comes to Mexico City to complain that their arable land has been enclosed, leaving them only in the barren hills. His expressed dissatisfaction with President Diaz's response puts him in danger, and when he rashly rescues a prisoner from the local militia, he becomes an outlaw. Urged on by a strolling intellectual, Fernando, he supports the exiled Don Francisco Madero against Diaz and becomes the leader of his forces in the South as Francisco 'Pancho' Villa is in the North. Diaz flees, and Madero takes his place, but he is a puppet president in the hands of the army leader Huerta, who has him assassinated when he tries to express solidarity for the men who fought for him. Zapata and Villa return to arms; successful in victory, they seek a leader for the country. Zapata unwillingly takes a job, but later he responds to petitioners from his own village with no more reassurance than Diaz had years before. Realizing that with power his idealism has gone, he returns with them to Morelos, specifically to investigate their complaints against his brother Eufemio. New leaders take his place and, egged on by indomitable Fernando, they decide that Zapata is a threat to their regime.—alfiehitchie
