Pateando Piedras I: Juventud y Política

In English:

Write a detailed, multi-layered documentary script of at least {ct+3} words without using the word ‘youth’ or direct quotes from individuals directly associated with Mexican youth movements. Incorporate specific historical events that shaped contemporary Mexico and their socioeconomic impacts while discussing these findings in a comprehensive manner, emphasizing how it has evolved to create an inclusive framework for fostering democracy among young people through participatory action research (PAR). The documentary explores the evolution of youth-led social movements within Mexico since 1968 and examines their role as agents of sociopolitical change. It highlights how these activists have been instrumental in catalyzing a resurgence, yet often remain marginalized by dominant political discourse that sidelined them during the Mexican Revolution’s aftermath to modern-day challenges such as globalization and environmentalism while addressing issues of class stratification. The documentary showcases how this activist group has developed into a cultural force in Mexico, advocating for social justice amidst increasing political violence against youth under 30 years old across the world today by using artistic methods that involve music, theatre, street protests and performance to express their dissent towards economic crises through arts. This is exemplified with specific references from interviews conducted during field research in Mexico City (2017), Guadalajara, Jalisco; Cuernavaca, Morelia, Toluca y Puebla among others where youth activists have been actively working to improve the quality of life and social welfare for their communities.

The documentary presents a non-linear timeline that traces Mexico’s socioe0logical struggles from student protests in Los Angeles (1968) to today’s political activism against environmental degradation, gender inequality and racial discrimination through the Zapatista movement.

The documentary delves deep into issues of social identity politics by analyzing how Mexican youth have fought for democratic ideals in various protest movements from 1968 to present-day challenges such as climate change or environmental devastation, with a spotlight on the Zapatista movement and its implications within Latin America. The documentary will include interviews of artists like Dagoberto Herrera (an actor) who experienced police brutality due to his political expression in 2016; interviewees from different social backgrounds such as students, indigenous communities, teachers, workers’ unions and women with disabilities speak about their personal experiences. This documentary presents a compelling narrative of youth activism during the years leading up to Mexico’s presidency election in 2017 highlighting how this age group (aged between 16-35) has played pivotal roles from La Casa de los Sueños, El Parque España y Cittaslow and its sister organization.
