Independent documentary film maker David Bradbury made a big
impact on the English speaking world with his documentary about
the Sandinista revolution in Nicaragua, released in 1984. The
centrepiece of this powerful documentary was a meeting with the
last surviving founding member of the Sandinista National
Liberation Front, Tomas Borge.


When Tomas Borge died at the age of 81, a few hours before
Mayday, 2012, David shared some of his memories of the man with
community radio, and the story of how his documentary "Nicaragua,
No Pasaran" came to be made.
