Ein Traum von Revolution

Description

45 years ago, with the victory of the revolution in Nicaragua, an era of hope begins. A young generation takes over the government with the ambitious goal of building a fairer and more socially just society. In the 1980s, 15,000 “brigadists” from West Germany alone traveled to Nicaragua to help rebuild the exhausted country: liberals, Greens, trade unionists, social democrats, leftists and church representatives harvested coffee and cotton, built schools, kindergartens and health stations. No other movement has mobilized so many people. Director Petra Hoffmann is also involved. 45 years after the victory of the revolution, she asks what has become of the wishes and dreams of the revolutionaries and their supporters.
