A Place Called Chiapas

As an audience, documentary's research intentions are more fully realized through research beyond the scope of camera lenses. For example, if I never wrote this paper, all the causes of violence contained in that theme remain as mysterious as the documentary itself. On the other hand, it is possible to contextualize the story segments without related puzzles, and the documentary forces viewers to think for himself. If the interest of Nettie Wild is to raise consciousness rather than to provide objective information, the documentary achieves that goal.

Chiapas is located in the southeastern part of Mexico and has a Pacific coast of 260 km (160 miles). In Chiapas, there are Sierra Madre Daki Apasse on the south side and two major highland areas in the middle of Chiapas in the middle of Montagnas. They are separated by Depresión Central, include the watershed of the Grijalva River, have hot weather and moderate rainfall. The height of the Madre mountain ranges from the west to the east, the highest mountain is near the Guatemalan border. The Chiapas central highland rapidly climbed to the northern part of Griharuwa, the maximum altitude of 2,400 meters (7,900 feet), and then gradually descended toward the Yucatan peninsula. They are blocked by deep valleys parallel to the Pacific Coast and have complicated drainage systems that supply food to the River Griharva and the Rakantan River.

Chiapas Heights is an extension of the Central American Mountains. In the highlands, low crystal Sierra de Soconusco is on the Pacific coast. The Grijalva River Valley is located northwest parallel to the coast. Between the valley and the Tabasco plain there are mountains with a highly anatomical, folded fault. This is an extension of the southeastern part of the Gulf Coast of Mexico. The peak of the active volcano in this area was ElChichón, destroying several villages in 1982.

The Chiapas earthquake affected the inhabitants of Chiapas and Oaxaca (the poorest and most indigenous state in Mexico). About 96 people died in the earthquake, 5,000 houses in Chiapas, 11,000 houses in Oaxaca were destroyed for the first century by the largest earthquake in Mexico. When it comes to the Puebla earthquake, it is smaller than the Chiapas earthquake, but it certainly is destructive and deprives many lives. Currently there are about 360 people dying from the earthquake, this number is still growing.
