Land Development in Nicaragua
Although I didn't have high hopes for this film initially I was quite blown away by the time the credits rolled.
Telling the classic story of power and colonialism without taking sides is never an easy task to pull off so swimmingly. Hats off.
Director Julian Pinder shows extreme maturity for his first full length feature. Having been down to Nicaragua myself on/off again over the last 20 years I found that he summed up the period from 2006 to present with astounding accuracy and a knack for humor.
With the 2006 election as the backdrop we learn many interesting facts about the complex revolutionary Daniel Ortega. Throughout the film we come to grips with the complexities of society and human nature. The situation in the film is not documented as simply good or bad. The film allows us stay relatively impartial to both the land developers and the locals in the tug of war of land. After all, Land is all they have.
Colourful characters and an interesting history help make this movie a must see for anyone interested in the country or simply a good story.
I do recommend.
Thank you.
