This is an amazing look at the failed policy of the the Reagan Administration. The fact that our government backed this side and then lost tells you all you need to know.
Look at those beautiful good dark melanated people, especially the children ❤❤❤
Those ole M-1 carbines are the perfect rifle for those young men.
32:45 is pure anxiety. Imagining training 10 year olds with machine guns, grenade launchers, mortars with live rounds…the director know his audience is a morbid lot, though. Pretty sad stuff, being victimized by the Sandinistas for their religion, which was foisted on them to begin with. Can't help being conscripted into the conflicts of great powers, guess when you're weak any reason will do.
poor kids and poor turtles
Anyone knows the song the boy in the beginning sings
Damn, that's some harsh business. Poor little young'uns. This was made 40 years ago, I wonder if any of them survive to now? Doubtful. People suck.
