Fearing a second Cuba, the Reagan Administration financed and armed the counterrevolutionaries. What followed was a long and bloody civil war that left many Nicaraguans with deep scars. When Contras and Sandinistas clashed on 3 April 1983 around the village of Waslala, the Rivera family - mother Julia, daughters Maria and Reina, son Emilio and twins José and Juan - was literally caught in the crossfire. Maria saw her husband tortured to death and Emilio (13) and José (12) kidnapped and recruited by the Contras. 15-year-old Reina went along to watch over them, unaware of the fact that the Contras "went through women like towels." Twin brother Juan remained behind and later, as a conscript on the Sandinista side, fought against his own brother. Twenty years later, the tension is still palpable. The vivid memories of the war and the feelings of hatred and shame make it hard to pick up the pieces. Meanwhile an empty truck called "El Immortal" travels through the village. Director Moncada Rodríguez uses this truck as the leitmotif and shows a country where the war still haunts the villages and jungle. 542 |fCopyright by The Film Sales Company 655 4 Documentary films 260 Nicaragua : |bLesur, Aaron Fernandez ; Rodriguez, Mercedes Moncada ; Oria, Puy ; Armendariz, Montxo, |c2005. 041 spa |jeng 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6FL_RECORD_1025_000000000000000 |70 |8FL |9146211FL |bFL |d2019-02-27 |l0 |oFL Record 1025 |pHU_OSA_00002707.mp4 |r2021-11-04 |w2019-02-27 |yDIGIFILM |zAccess Copy, MP4 format |cAudio Visual 920 01 Pe8r8yXW 966 True |bHU_OSA_00002707 |cDigitally Anywhere / With Registration
