    In the summer of 2006, a non-violent, popular uprising exploded in the
southern Mexican state of Oaxaca. Some compared it to the Paris Commune, while
others called it the first Latin American revolution of the 21st century.

    But it was the people's use of the media that truly made history in
Oaxaca.

    A Little Bit of So Much Truth captures the unprecedented phenomenon that
emerged when tens of thousands of schoolteachers, housewives, farmers, health
workers, and students took over 14 radio stations and one TV station, using
them to organize, mobilize, and ultimately defend their grassroots struggle
for social, cultural, and economic justice.

    After spending two years in Oaxaca, producing Granito de Arena, Seattle
filmmaker Jill Freidberg returned to Oaxaca in 2006, and joined forces with
Oaxacan media collective Mal de Ojo TV, to tell the story of the people who
put their lives on the line to give a voice to their struggle.

    Narrated with audio and video recordings from the occupied media outlets,
the film delivers a breath-taking, intimate account of a year that changed
Mexico forever, and raises important questions about the role of the media in
the 21st century.
