Nicaragua: The 40-Year Revolution
on channel: Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs
In 1979 a group of young rebels, calling themselves the Sandinista National Liberation Front, overthrew a brutal dictatorship in Nicaragua. 40 years later, Nicaraguans are again living under an oppressive authoritarian regime. The current leader? Sandinista Daniel Ortega.
In the Spring of 2019, the Watson Institute held an unprecedented conference exploring the history and legacy of this unfinished revolution. Out of that conference came this short film, produced by The Watson Institute and Redfitz Films, telling the story of the Sandinista Revolution from the people who lived it.
For more information about the conference this film was based on, including recorded lectures and a 4-part podcast series featuring many of the voices in this film, visit [https://watson.brown.edu/nicaragua].
