Overview

In September 1984, Julia Lesage and Chuck Kleinhans visited Estelí, Nicaragua, where they shot extensive VHS footage of life in Sandinista Nicaragua. Here a group of Mothers of Heroes and Martyrs offer their collective memory of the last years of the Somoza regime and the role played by very young fighters in overthrowing the dictator. The footage was processed using the Sandin Image Processor and edited in 3/4″ video.
