"Nuestra America". Documentary in LASC

Documentary and debate with LASC.

The Sandinista revolution shook the foundations of the US empire at a time when the Cold War was coming to an end and when its violence was reaching its climax in Central America. Nobody thought this revolution possible and yet it happened, mobilizing massive international solidarity and showing that another world could actually be possible.

However, 25 years later things have changed a lot: the US won the cold War, kept its hemispheric hegemony and imposed a Neoliberal regime over Nicaragua. Poverty and corruption never went away, and actually, the latter took a firm seat in the late Sandinista leadership. And in spite of it all, the Sandinista example led a way into deep political transformations in the region that will not be possible to appreciate in the short term.

Where is Nicaragua now? Was it worthwhile the enormous sacrifice if compared to the result? All this is to be debated after the screening of the documentary.

Documentary presented by Victoria Díaz García.

WHEN: September 11th, 9pm

WHERE: LASC Office, 5 Merrion Row, Dublin 2
