The film "Together We Stand" revisits the events of the Polytechnic Uprising through personal narratives, mostly from 'anonymous' individuals who participated in one way or another. It explores the essence and function of the uprising: what those involved experienced during the three-day period inside or outside the Polytechnic, in relation to others around them, to themselves, and their stance in life. It examines how they responded to danger and the need for mutual assistance, how spontaneity coexisted with organization.

Finally, the documentary reflects on how this experience, outside of everyday normalcy, left its mark on the souls and minds of those involved, how it shaped their value system, and how it unites them with a common secret.

The documentary combines the testimonies of the "main players" of the Polytechnic Uprising with unpublished archival material from public authorities, photographs, and film footage, some of which have been minimally publicized, along with brief chronological elements of the events—all viewed through the lens of reviving and transferring the very experience of the uprising.

It also highlights aspects of the subject that have been less explored, such as the extent of the violence inflicted by the junta’s repressive forces, the number of dead and wounded, providing new information. The film shows how a student protest gradually turned into a popular uprising and extends the timeline of the revolt beyond the tank entry, lasting until Monday, November 19.
