Resistir para Existir es un documental corto que muestra la forma en que los indígenas Cucapá de la comunidad de El Mayor, Baja California, luchan para subsistir después de la "desaparición" del Río Colorado y luego de que el gobierno mexicano los despojara de su derecho a pescar en el mar. Pescadores por tradición milenaria, los Cucapá ahora se han quedado sin agua ni comida. Sin embargo, su decisión para continuar como pueblos herederos de una cultura antigua, los ha llevado a buscar varias maneras de defender sus derechos. La Otra Campaña y La Delegación Sexta del EZLN, se han sumado a esta lucha "en defensa de la vida, la cultura y la naturaleza" de los pueblos Cucapá y Kiliwa, con la instalación de un campamento en territorio indígena bajacaliforniano, desde febrero a abril de 2007. Realización: Comisión de video de La Otra en el Otro Lado México, Enero de 2007.Duración 18 minutos. Para más información, favor de visitar... http://stopthegenocidecampaign.blogsp...

This short documentary tells the story the Cucapá, an Indigenous people of Mexicali, who have been denied fishing permits, even though they ... all » have been fishing in their valley for over 9,000 years; indeed, even before this area was considered Mexico.

Fishing is part of their ancestral traditions and is their only form of support. On the other hand, commercial fisherman have no problems obtaining fishing permits.

During the upcoming fishing season, which runs from February to May, the Sixth Delegation of the EZLN, along with adherents of "The Other Campaign" will set up camp in the Mexicali dessert community of the Mayor Cucapa, and will join the local community in exercizing their rights to fish in a peaceful, civil disobedient campaign for social change and justice.
