Our America
For several years the Wales Nicaragua Solidarity Campaign has been using film and providing speakers to bring people up to date with events in Nicaragua. A number of excellent documentaries have recently been released, looking at Nicaragua’s recent history.
Our America (click here), made be Swiss director Kristina Konrad, tells the story (in German and Spanish) of her voyage of (re)discovery to Nicaragua after twenty years away. On the surface it tells a similar story to the award winning The World Stopped Wathcing (click here), about the return of two US journalists. Whilst the Canadian film highlighted the themes of reconciliation, Our America focuses much more on why Nicaraguans were willing to fight, and die for, the Revolution.
The film is lyrical, and is centred around the works one of the greatest poets of Latin America, Ruben Dario, and his dissection of US imperialism, To Roosevelt (click here).
Contact the campaign for more information about films and speakers.
