Fire From the Mountain

Deborah Shaffer
1987 Nicaragua; United States 58 minutes English

Fire From the Mountain traces the poetic, down-to-earth and sometimes amusing path of the Nicaraguan author, Omar Cabezas: his student activism, his involvement in the guerrilla against the Somoza dictatorship and his influential work for the Nicaragua’s revolutionary government in its fight against the American-backed Contras.
