The Chiapas Media Project works with indigenous and campesino communities in the southern Mexican states of Chiapas and Guerrero. The objective has been to provide these communities with the means to produce their own media and distribute it.

The CMP looks for the funding necessary to buy equipment, train community members in video production, post-production and computers and distributes the videos they produce worldwide. Since 1998, the CMP has distributed close to 5,000 videos. The videos are distributed via the internet, university and college presentations, museums and film and video festivals.
