One Long Night
Judith Zdesar
Greenland in polar winter: Darkness, ice
storms, and howling dogs. I am here in
search of a means to combat the fear of
night. The locals tell of spirits and polar
bears. Life is still dangerous here and every
day counts. There is crying and laughing,
wild celebration and silent waiting for the
sun. “We know,” says a laughing lady
Greenlander, “death can come just like
that.” She snaps her fingers. “We know,”
she says, and continues to smile.

The documentary film poco a poco (Step by
Step) accompanies human rights observers
enroute in Zapatista communities of Chiapas,
Mexico. It shows the responsibilities, ex -
periences and difficulties they face. We learn
more about their voluntary work, the Zapatista
movement and the conflict in Chiapas

a search for a righteous and dignified life.
