Documentary: Alberto Patishtán
The death of 7 policement in an ambush perpetrated by an armed group in the municipality of El Bosque in 2000 was the motive for which Alberto Patishtán Gómez was sent to jail, sentenced to 60 years for a crime he did not commit, and of which he was accused as political revenge for his struggle in support of his people and against the abuses of the local government. A social activist of the Tsotsil people.
Based on interviews and testimonies, this documentary recreates the real motives that led Alberto Patishtán to jail. We see how his people have struggled to liberate him and the injustices committed by the very institutions in charge of ensuring Justice, against him an, as a consequence, against all organized peoples in Chiapas.
