Synopsis by Clarke Fountain
This documentary, based on the award-winning autobiographical writings of Omar Cabezas, chronicles the history of the writer and his participation in the struggle to overthrow the Somoza regime in Nicaragua and win victory for the populist, left-wing Sandinistas, whose governmental inexperience made possible the eventual partial success of the U.S.-managed counter-revolution by the so-called Contras.
