Mexico: Rebellion of the Weeping Women

This is the story of Mexican women who have fought, and continue to fight, for equality and women’s rights. They are women looking for children kidnapped during political pogroms, journalists, writers, and political activists. Machismo and the resulting sexism, as well as Catholicism and its perpetuation of the myth of the Virgin Mary as the standard for feminine behavior, are discussed as social factors contributing to the continued subjugation of Mexican women. Also available in Spanish. (61 minutes)
