Description du film [en anglais] :
« This documentary is the spoken testimony of the Nicaraguan women who fought in the revolution that overthrew the Somoza dictatorship in 1979. The revolution was a powerful catalyst in their lives. Under the new government, they reorganized their wartime association, AMNLAE, into a grass-roots organization to fight sexism. Through AMNLAE, they launched a literacy campaign, created training collectives for women, organized health brigades, and are recommending legislation to eliminate discriminatory laws. Dream of a Free Country is a record of women's participation both in revolution and in the building of a new society. »

Citation sur Dream of a Free Country: A Message from Nicaraguan Women [en anglais]

« The first half of this film [Dream of a Free Country: A Message from Nicaraguan Women] is an eloquent record of the heroism of women during the Sandinista uprising that ousted General Anastasio Somoza from power. Then, the mood gives way to skepticism as the film examines the difficult role of women in the post-revolutionary social order. »
