On the 14th of June in the capital of Oaxaca in the state of Oaxaca, the protest camp of the teachers union was evicted. They were striking for better salaries and better social conditions for their pupils. This brutal eviction led to a broad solidarity of the population of Oaxaca, which organized themselves in the APPO (People's Assembly of the Peoples of Oaxaca). The APPO not only claims the demission of the responsible overnor Ulises Riuz Ortiz, but made several concrete proposals for a new constitution.

This documentary shows the struggle of the APPO and the daily life in the camps. It lets people from different sectors talk about their reasons for joining the struggle and also about their plans for the time after Ulises. It shows, as well, the brutal repression that the social movements in Oaxaca are facing, which cost the lives of several people.
