Chicoasén en defensa del agua from InquietaDoc on Vimeo.

Ejido Chicoasén has been struggling for over 40 years to recover their lands, expropriated through deception by the state and violating their right to prior consultation. In this territory, the hydroelectric dam Chicoasén I was built, and the dam Chicoasén II is currently under construction. The ejidatarios have won an order for temporary suspension of the construction, and demand compliance.

Most ejidatarios are over 70 years old, in precarious health conditions, and with warrants for their arrest. They demand full recognition of their agrarian rights, in the fense of their territory.
