Quote:
"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."
-- Ann Charney
