Viva Zapata
Plot:
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 the response of the President Diaz 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 leader of the army,
Huerta, who has him assassinated when he tries to express solidarity for the men
who fought for him. Zapata and Villa return to arms, and, successful in victory,
seek to find a leader for the country. Unwillingly, Zapata takes the job, but, a
while later, he responds to some petitioners from his own village with no more
reassurance than had Diaz 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 the always surviving Fernando, they decide that Zapata is a threat to
their regime.
