Setting: A hacienda field, 1910.
Narrator 1: For thirty years, Porfirio Díaz ruled Mexico. The country modernized—but the wealth went to a tiny elite.
Campesino 1: My grandfather farmed this land freely. Now I work it as a slave.
Emiliano Zapata: The land belongs to those who work it! ¡Tierra y Libertad!
Campesino 2: ¡Tierra y Libertad!
Soldadera: The women of Mexico fight too. We are not following our husbands—we are fighting for our children.
Narrator 2: The Revolution lasted ten years. One million died. But from the ashes came a new Constitution in 1917.
Zapata: It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees!
