What makes this film worth watching?

I just watched this documentary and I really enjoyed it. This documentary is structured in a genius and compelling way, using various documentary forms including observational, education, poetic, and participatory to give us access to a world we have probably never been or seen before. It has inspired me to make a personal and thought provoking documentary about the Bracero Workers Program of the 1950's in the US. Although "Zapatista" was shot 15 years ago, the social and political issue here is relevant still today and is part of today's political agenda in the US. Even more today, so many policies are designed to service private interested and profits over the people and world. It's one of those films that you just watch it and share it with your friends over and over again. Documentaries like this one can make this world a better place.
