From the Edge of the Blade

On June 14, 2006, when police forces attacked thousands of striking teachers in Oaxaca, Mexico, the annual strike turned into a widespread popular rebellion, demanding the governors' resignation. "From the Edge of the Blade" tells the story of a broad social movement of teachers, social organizations, unions, students, activists, and indigenous communities that took over the city in an effort to change the devastating conditions imposed on them by international trade agreements and corrupt politicians.
