Maybe someday we\u2019ll learn why the indigenous Zapatista Women aspired to be drivers. But for now, the EZLN\u2019s Sixth Commission presents an exclusive preview of the documentaries to be premiered by the <em>Terci@s Compas<\/em> [Zapatista media] on a still to-be-determined date. Here goes:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Title: \u201c\u2026And Even to be Drivers\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A documentary filmed entirely in the mountains of Southeastern Mexico in 2019. Written, directed, and produced by Zapatista women, this documentary compiles scenes of Zapatista <em>compa\u00f1eras<\/em> learning to drive. Duration: undetermined. Format: unknown. Rating: Z (as it should be). It won\u2019t come out on Netflix, nor on Amazon Prime, nor on Apple TV, nor on HBO, nor Fox, nor\u2026what are the other options? Well, not on any of those either. Nor will it be shown in theaters. It will be shown exclusively in the Zapatista <em>Caracoles<\/em>\u2026 Oh, also at the Second International Gathering for Women in Struggle? Should I include that? Got it. But without any date or location? Okay. But people are going to complain that I\u2019m leaving them hanging. Couldn\u2019t we at least give them a hint, like a road sign? No, not for the actual road, I mean like an idea of potentially when and where\u2026 in December? Of this year? Hello? Helloooooo? Feeling low? Huh, well it looks like they left, but I can tell you they don\u2019t look low at all\u2026 in fact they had a glint in their eye, in their gaze, like a goal, or a challenge\u2014a rebellion, really. A Zapatista glint, that is.<\/p>\n<p>Disclaimer: no men were hurt in the production of this documentary. Well actually there were, but only in the form of a few blows to the ego. Oh, and also a few who fell as they were running away from a <em>compa\u00f1era <\/em>who got pissed because they were yelling stuff at the women learning to drive\u2026 no, it wasn\u2019t me, I was watching from a ways away, I wasn\u2019t going to find myself in the vicinity of that piece of lead pipe she was carrying\u2026 <em>yee-haw<\/em>\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>Apocalyptic Synopsis<\/strong>: A virus produced in the laboratories of the <em>Illuminati<\/em> is released in the mountains of Southeastern Mexico.

The virus causes them to do strange and illogical things\u2014they rebel, they resist, and they take over jobs and responsibilities that should be the exclusive domain of men. This documentary compiles evidence of this insubordination, and you can see exactly how the Zapatista women consider themselves not only to be free but also\u2014you\u2019re not going to believe this\u2014even to be <em>drivers<\/em>.

A group of brave and daring party-affiliated men decide to challenge them, mocking and threatening them, demanding they go back to the kitchen and dedicate themselves to raising children. Those transgressors of patriarchal (and transit) law confront the men. The men lose, the women win. That\u2019s it. Sigh. That\u2019s why I said there\u2019s no happy ending.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u201c<\/em><\/strong><strong>And They Kept At It\u201d Synopsis<em>:<\/em><\/strong><em> (from an unpublished interview with one of the experienced men drivers teaching the driving lessons): The compa\u00f1eros giving the driving lessons had said that they were only going to teach the women to drive the small Nissan pickups most common in their communities, but the compa\u00f1eras said no way, that wasn\u2019t enough, that they wanted to learn the mechanical aspects, too. So mechanics lessons it was. So far so good. The real scandal broke out when they said that they also wanted to learn to drive the \u201c<\/em>Guardi\u00e1n<em>\u201d and the \u201c<\/em>Guardiana<em>,\u201d which are 6-ton trucks\u2014monster trucks the compa\u00f1eras call them. And there\u2019s where you\u2019re really in for it, as the defunct [SupMarcos] would say, because not just anybody can drive a 6-ton truck. Even the <\/em>compa\u00f1ero<em> drivers have to battle with anything over a 3-ton truck, those things are no toys. But we thought, okay, fine, let them learn to start the thing up and that\u2019ll be sufficient. But it wasn\u2019t; the women insisted on learning not only to drive but to perform maintenance on the 6-ton trucks. They wouldn\u2019t settle for less. Now they want to learn to drive logging trucks that can carry whole tree trunks. Where are we going to get one of those? That\u2019s way out of our league. And what if then they decide they want to drive semi-trucks and trailers? (\u2026) I mean it\u2019s true those trucks would be helpful to bring supplies into the <\/em>caracoles<em>\u2014that\u2019s where they\u2019re going to hold the film festival, they said, as well as the women\u2019s gathering. They also said they\u2019re going to hold a CompArte especially for dance and for dancing. Oh no, not me. I only know how to dance the <\/em>mo\u00f1o colorado<em> [a <\/em>cumbia<em>], but other than that, especially those dances where they jump around like deer or hang from big pieces of fabric, forget it. Those people can tell you a whole story, all through dance. Nah, I don\u2019t know how to <\/em>zapatear<em> either.\u00a0 Only in the mud, really, and even then only when there\u2019s a flat tire and no other choice, you gotta get out and <\/em>zapatear<em>. Yeah, the <\/em>Tercias<em> women were there too, making a film about the women drivers. The <\/em>Tercias<em> were telling the women drivers that they had to make jokes or something so that the film didn\u2019t turn out sad, because rebellion is joyful. The <\/em>Tercias<em> were trying to get the women to pretend to crash into things and that kind of thing. What\u2019s that? Oh, well no, the part where the <\/em>compa\u00f1era<em> ran us off the road wasn\u2019t part of the joke, I think she was tired of our jokes and that\u2019s why she about ran over us. We all ran, not away from the car but because we saw the look in the eye of the <\/em>compa\u00f1era<em> who was driving and we knew she was pissed, but strangely, also smiling. The <\/em>compa\u00f1eras<em> are very \u201cother.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cFucking Men\u201d Synopsis: <\/strong><em>It turns out that during the second round of driving lessons, the <\/em>compa\u00f1eras<em> said that when they practice with the community vehicles in their towns, the party-affiliated men mock them and yell stuff at them. So they told us that we men who were teaching them to drive were going to have to do the same, yell and make fun of them, with the idea that the women would also be training themselves to handle that. That is, we were acting, at least that\u2019s how <strong>Teresa<\/strong> and the <strong>Cochiloco<\/strong> explained it to us. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>(Note: the writer is referring to the actress Dolores Heredia and the actor Joaqu\u00edn Cos\u00edo and their respective roles in <em>Capadocia<\/em> and <em>El Infierno<\/em>. Zapatistas refer to actors and actresses in films by their character names, not their real names. In the first film festival in November of 2018, <em>Teresa<\/em> and <em>Cochiloco<\/em> each took time to talk privately with the <em>insurgentas<\/em> and <em>insurgentes<\/em>, while stuffing themselves with <em>tuluc<\/em> tamales. They answered all the questions they were asked. What the women talked about with <em>Teresa<\/em> only the women know. What we do know is that they finished off the tamales completely, they didn\u2019t even leave me a single one. End of note.)<\/p>\n<p><em>Anyway, so that\u2019s what <\/em>Teresa<em> and <\/em>Cochiloco<em> were explaining to us, how acting works\u2014that it\u2019s not real but you have to pretend that it is. So that\u2019s what we did. Some of <\/em>the compas even acted like they were drunk, but it was all an act. But when that compa\u00f1era came out with a piece of pipe, that wasn\u2019t acting, we ran for real, because what if the compa\u00f1era forgets it\u2019s not for <em>real and that we\u2019re <\/em>compa\u00f1eros<em> and she let\u2019s us have it. I had told them to just use a piece of cardboard or a rolled-up magazine but what did they do? Grabbed a lead pipe. And that thing hurts. What? Well they looked pretty happy to me, like they realized they could do it\u2014drive that is\u2014not just talk about it but really do it in practice. Now, the problem is going to be in their towns. Imagine when the supply truck pulls up to the community driven by a woman. Just picture it! The party-affiliated guys are going to have to eat their words and the <\/em>compa\u00f1eras<em> can finally yell at them, \u201cfucking men!\u201d What? No, we\u2019re <\/em>compa\u00f1eros<em>, those other guys are fucking men. It\u2019s not the same thing. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cInfiltration\u201d Synopsis<\/strong><em>: Don\u2019t write this down, but the men who were teaching the women to drive, well, we were feeling a little down because we had taught them to change the oil filter. And one <\/em>compa\u00f1era<em>, in her traditional skirt and everything, did it really quickly. Then we teachers had to go change the filter on a truck that belonged to the <\/em>Junta<em> [Good Government Council]. Sonofa\u2026 there were 6 of us, half an hour later and we still couldn\u2019t figure it out. We were about to go ask the <\/em>compa\u00f1eras<em> for help. Thank god we didn\u2019t have to in the end, imagine the embarrassment. I hope that part doesn\u2019t make it into the film the <\/em>Tercias<em> are making. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>-*-<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZtYorn_F7mA\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QavRzZun_Vw\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_grEQZKLTZI\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>-*-<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A few reviews from professional critics:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe macho men lost again, oh well.
