infrastructure projects and to celebrate the
44th Annivesrary of the Sandinista Revolution on July
19. While on assignment, each week we will share with you
segments of the documentary Nicaragua Against Empire. The film
journals our March 2021 Sanctions Kill / Friends of the ATC,
Nicaragua delegation. From film producer and delegate Ramiro
Sebastian Funez:


"In March of 2021, I traveled to Nicaragua as part of a 13-member
delegation. The trip was organized by the Sanctions Kill
coalition and the Friends of the Rural Workers’ Association,
known as the ATC.


We traveled to Nicaragua to understand the effects of imperialist
sanctions on ordinary Nicaraguans and how they're fighting back.
We also witnessed the wide range of social advancements carried
out by the Sandinista Revolution.


For eleven days, we traveled across diverse parts of Nicaragua.
We visited the urban sprawls of Managua, the rural countryside of
Estelí, and the tropical Caribbean coastline of Bilwi.


We met and spoke with locals and grassroots activists to see the
reality of Nicaragua. What we saw was completely different from
what we see on imperialist mainstream media."
