Free the Mother Country – or die
(1979, 59 min.)

Eyewitness account from the 1979 revolution in Nicaragua.
Michael and Helle’s personal story about the final months of the liberation struggle against dictator Somoza and his US-backed dictatorship.
We follow the liberation movement FSLN in their training camp, hear people talk about oppression and death, are at the front and on July 19 when Somoza flees and the capital Managua is captured by guerrillas and hundreds of thousands of cheering Nicaraguans.
Produced as an audio slideshow on 4 projectors with music and speech.
