Emiliano's Childhood
Humble beginnings give Mexico's most popular revolutionary leader the start of his career. His origins lead into his extraordinary outcomes.
A Revolutionary is Born
After years of tireless agricultural work Zapata gathers his followers which unravels into the Mexican government's biggest opposition movement.

"I want to die a slave to principles, not to men."
"I am resolved to fight against everything and everyone with only the trust, love, and support of my people."
