- My president, our delegation...
PABLO: Shh!

:03:04
- They've taken our land away.
- Who took your land away?

:03:11
Children, when you make accusations,
be certain you have the facts.

:03:16
- Who took your land away?
- The biggest state there.

:03:21
- It's bigger than a kingdom.
- They've taken our valleys.

:03:24
- Left us only the rocky hillside.
YOUNG MAN: We can't grow our corn.

:03:27
OLD MAN: That's right.
There's a new fence with barbed wire.

:03:30
We can't feed our cows.
Those three houses by that white rock?

:03:37
- They burned those!
- They're planting sugarcane in our land.

:03:40
Can you prove that you own this field?
:03:45
Our village has owned this land
since before history.

:03:50
We have a paper from the Spanish crown
and from the Mexican Republic.

:03:56
Well, if this is true, you have no
problem. The courts will settle this.

:04:02
I'll send you to my personal attorney.
:04:05
But before you see him, I urge you
to find your boundary stones.

:04:13
Check them against
your grants and titles.

:04:16
Verify your boundaries. Facts. Facts!
:04:22
Now, my children, I have
many other matters to attend to.

:04:27
I've been your president for 34 years.
It's not an easy job being president.

:04:34
GROUP: Thank you, my president.
:04:36
- Thank you.
- Thank you, my president.

:04:38
What's next?
:04:43
We can't verify the boundaries,
my president.

:04:47
The land is fenced and guarded.
:04:49
They're planting sugar cane
in our cornfields.

:04:53
- The courts...
- With your permission...

:04:57
The courts?
