Corazon del Tiempo (Spanish w/ English Subtitles, 90 min, 2009)

In the mountains of South Eastern Mexico, in a Zapatista village, Sonia, is coming of age. She is expected to marry Miguel, a community leader she has known since childhood. Her future seems set until one day, as she meanders along a jungle path, she finds herself staring into the eyes of a handsome rebel fighter, Lieutenant Julio, and falls deeply in love. Sonia’s revolution of the heart threatens the wills and convictions of everyone around her and puts the security of her community, and the entire insurgent army, in danger.

Corazon del Tiempo is more than a romance set in Zapatista territory. It is the first feature length film filmed with Zapatista supporters as actors and filmed entirely in an EZLN community. Corazon del Tiempo is a rare and intimate look into the heart of the Zapatista revolution in Chiapas, Mexico.
