Chiapas, southeastern Mexico. When the people of Tila and other villages run the town hall and police out of their territory, they face the challenge of exercising self-governance. "A Bigger Place" draws on the tradition of direct cinema to explore the construction of autonomy in Mayan Ch'ol territory, a region historically marked by paramilitary violence and Zapatista aspirations.
