A report from various communities in Honduras where the regime 
imposed by a 2009 military coup has opened up an all-out attack on the 
country's teachers. Honduras' teachers are, in the eyes of many, the most 
organized sector of the anti-coup resistance movement. Over recent 
months they have had their pensions stolen, their wages cut, their labor 
rights suspended, and a new education law passed which they believe is 
the beginning of the privatization process. In response, the teachers and 
the National People's Resistance Front have occupied institutions, roads 
and highways across the country, to which the regime has responded with 
brute force.

Produced by Jesse Freeston.
