"Just before dawn on New Year's Day 1994, armed Mayan Indians declared war on the government.

This documentary features in-depth interviews with people from the EZLN, among them Subcommandante Marcos. THE SIXTH SUN portrays an epic confrontation pitting impoverished peasants against large landowners and government forces in Mexico poorest state, Chiapas.
