"Not dead are those who rest in sweet peace in the cold grave, are those who live on with a cold soul." Rubén Darío.

2 women in uniform...A revolution... A poem... A memory... of an afternoon 20 years ago... Memories of a country that no longer exists.

Our America

Not dead are those... who rest in sweet peace... in the cold grave...

Dead are those who live on with a dead soul.

If you look at this photograph...?

It tells me, that there was a moment in our country, when the women took part... in the conquest of the dreams, liberation from a 50 year dictatorship... and suppression.

With the message, the promise... of a revolution... everybody took to the streets, the children, the women, the men. It was... like someone... Like someone.. who sees a promise from afar... that is worth living for.


After that all the young women... joined the battalions. And they defended their ideals: more freedom, more rights...

Did you join in too?

Yes. But not with weapons. I told... the young and the old. That it was necessary... to start a revolution, that changes the old system. A struggle of the farmers and workers, to build a new Nicaragua!


Somozo has to go,
*
so we can live in peace.

Freedom for our country!

Going back...

Why do I expect to recognize,

even though I should know better...

The neoliberal Managua...

is not the revolutionary one.

Going back to a place...I haven't been to for 20 years.

I can feel them, the 20 missing years.

A 30-year-old...

had turned 50...
overnight.
The inner images once more flash up defiantly,
@

before fading away at the sight of the present,
only to reappear again...
as the lost world:

as a memory.

I remember a country...

that no longer exists.
A country that never existed like this.

I haven't been to Managua for 20 years.

In those days, Nicaragua was a place of utopia,

of revolution,
that attracted people.

I also stayed two years to make a film.
But what am I looking for now?

Armed with a photograph showing a moment...

when everything still seemed possible?

There is only a small sequence of film from...
Sandino, who gave the revolution its name.

In 1933 he waged...

the first guerrilla war in Latin America.
Successfully.

The US occupants left.

Freedom for our country...
or death!

Sandino was murdered maliciously...
and was immortalised as a hero and martyr.
Whether his 18 meter statue...

is able to brave the Nicaraguan storms...
in the long run,
remains to be seen.
I find myself wanting to...

rediscover the two women...
in the faces of young women.

I know that to them the picture...
of the two Sandinistas is as exotic...
as it is to women their age in Zurich or Berlin.

The pictures of the revolution...
seem strange in neoliberal Nicaragua.
They are a memory of a country,

that should never have existed in this way.
The failure of the revolution...
defines the image of history.
The war with...
its thousands of dead is Nicaragua's trauma.
So, how can such a past be mastered?


"Insofar as...

any 'mastering' of the past is possible",
as Hannah Arendt writes,
"it consists in relating...
what has happened;

but such narration, too,
which shapes history,
solves no problems and assuages no suffering;

it does not master anything once and for all.

Rather 'mastering of the past'...

can take the form of ever recurrent narration.

Are you Josefina?

- Yes. Who are you? - Kristina. Nice to meet you.
I was told you were...
involved with the battalion...

Rosa María Hernández...

was also in the Verónica Lacayo battalion...
Do you know her?
I only remember her.

These women have recited a poem...
by the great Rubén Darío for us.
Do you know a poem by him?
When in one of the verses in "Caupolicán" it says:

"This tree: Warrior and fighter."

"Upon the shoulders of the winner...
lay the power of the warrior...
to break the chains...
they are putting on us now."

I interpret for you what Ruben Darío...
wants to do, not with his words,
but with this great boldness and love:

He made a social accusation.
When you see this photograph,
does it recall memories,

does it trigger something?

As I knew Magali before the revolution...
it aroused memories from the beginning.

During the uprising of 1978...
we had to get hold of weapons.

We had to go to the national guard...
and the spies...
to get weapons which we didn't have.

Once I had a gun, a Magnum 22,
and we were 10 compañeros in one detachment.

One compañero, Mamerto Bustamante said:
At midnight we left and he said:

"I am going back now, I have no weapon."
In those times it was difficult...
to go back on an agreement.

So I said to him: "you cannot go back,
otherwise you are a traitor."

"And here we allow...
neither traitors nor cowards."

I took my gun and said:
"You will not go back because of the weapon,
take mine."

My body was shaking violently.
Terrified I thought:
"How can I go there without a weapon?"
So I looked for a stick,
such as this one.
It was lying there on the ground.
They said to me: "attack!".
As I was scared and didn't want...

my hands to be seen...
Covered...
in a black and red piece of shawl I crept...
holding the stick forwards, like this...
We had to climb over a fence.

And we had to show courage.

I walk bent over with the stick like this...

I know, once I have cleared the fence...

I am closer to the house.

I go like this with the stick...

And my nerves... I was feeling sick!
My nerves!
A compañero who we called...
Coyunda said to me:
"We don't want any cowards, show them, Katy,
show your guts, keep going, keep going!"
I don't know how...

but I clear the fence...
and enter the house and say:
"Don't move, stay put!"
0
"The Sandinista...
national liberation front."

I muster up all my courage...
It was a stick that I carried,
and I go pam pam:
"we are all coming, the building is surrounded!"

And my body, ah...
"Give me the weapons, there are weapons here...
"Hands up". The man advances with a pistol...
"Don't switch the light on!"
If they switched on the light...
they would of course see the stick...

Don't move, hands up!"
"Put that weapon down!"
When I reach the weapon I quickly...
put down the stick and pick up the pistol...
Once the pistol is in my hand,

my hands begin to shake...
"What am I going to do with the pistol?"
For I couldn't...
handle this kind of pistol.
It was... a 9 millimeter.
I was scared,
but basically I was happy.

Years later I am still nervous.
My heart... as if it were all real.

There are so many nice things...
worth remembering...

to honour the women.
The circumstances were different,

the prospects were different...

We always carried the vision inside us,
that it would be different here.

Once it was different.
Now it is no longer different, now it is...
completely different from our expectations.

At least from my expectations.
So many sacrifices, so much effort...
for what we have now,
that is painful.

Very painful,
because we adapted a common dynamic.

And what happened...
to the famous Sandinista mystique?

The dead obtain...
the mystique.

We survivors...
experienced it in a particular moment.
I believe we have lost it.

We have lost it mainly...
because we are no longer linked as we were.

There is no longer a real organic life...
that allows you to carry on,

to take a look at yourself, to see...
where you are going, to weigh things up.

I believe in a particular moment...
we possessed a lot of mystique.

A lot of mystique to defend the revolution,
to reach for the weapons, to...

Why did you call it mystique,
and not ideology?

People who died near me...
said to me: "Keep going."
In agony they said: "keep going,
don't stay, we will win."
I have some poems.

A boy from Chinandega called Isidro Valle...
arrived with a bullet wound.
And I said: "We will take you to hospital,
jumping from ditch to ditch."
"It's all over for me now,
but don't stop, keep going."
These words stayed in my mind,

I wrote a poem for him: "The circumstances".

And this is...
how I define mystique:
Having taken a decision...
to do something, having defined yourself.

We regret...leaving our families behind,
but the defence of the sovereignty...
of our country is fundamental.

Loving our country with words is not enough,
you also need to defend it,
to leave our children a decent...
and glorious future.

The women go to war.
Against the Contras, an army of mercenaries,
financed by the US.
Nicaragua was the Vietnam of my generation.

I think I would walk with a bowed head,
if I hadn't fought against the most cruel...
dictatorship of Latin America.

To look my children...
and later my grandchildren...
in the eyes...
At least they should remember someone,
who left them...
a better country, rather than...
as shameful a dictatorship as Somoza's.

I will never regret it,
it's a part of my life.
These are your life's great deeds:

you think about them - and you act.
"Honourable National Assembly,
People of Nicaragua.
Counselled by the governments...
with a genuine interest...
in peace for this country,

I decided to comply with the decree...
of the American States...
and therefore renounce the presidency,
the people elected me to.
I fought against communism...
and believe that I will be proved right...
by history once the truth has come out."

A. SOMOZA, PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC.

July 17, 1979

With these words did not only...
Nicaragua's president resign...

These were also...
the parting words of the owner of:
30% of Nicaragua's land,
rice, tobacco and coffee plantations,
the general representative of Mercedes Benz,
the airline LANICA,
the shipping company MAMENIC,
the harbour services Marítima Mundial,
the harbour installations Puerto Somoza,
the hotel chain "Hoteles de Nicaragua S.A.",
the newspaper Diario Novedades,
the fishing company PESCANICA,
the sugar refinery Central de Ingenios,
the construction company CASANICA,
the asbestos cement factory NICALIT,
the cement factory Cementera Nacional,
the metal processing company METASA,
the textile factories EL PORVENIR,
the paper factory ENVASES Y CARTONES,
banks such as BANCO DE CENTRO AMERICA,
the slaughter houses CARNIC,
and the chief shareholder...
of the blood plasma factory Plasmaféresis.

The people called the blood plasma factory...
"the house of the vampires".
Here, blood was taken from prisoners,
and poor people...
suffering from malnutrition were able...
to sell their blood for a few pesos.
The factory was under license...
of the US Food and Drug Administration...
and sold the blood mainly to...

Western Europe and to the United States.
This used to be the Rubén Darío Salon,
where the last important event was...
the handing over of Somoza's power.
Then the Sandinista came,
and I had to serve them just like Somoza before.

Everybody was very happy,
pleased about the change, but...
after a few days we could see the difference.
I even spent 4 days in prison...
for serving General Somoza.
We were wrong,
as the Sandinista had made so many promises.

They cheated us with their promises.
Before leaving the country Somoza said,
we would be begging him on our knees...
to return.
After a short time it was...
exactly how he predicted:
everything had been better under Somoza.


You know, good clothes...
You are treated according to your appearance.
If you are badly dressed you are treated badly,
if you are well dressed you are treated better.

During the era of the Sandinista they...
didn't want to see people in suits and ties,
only sports shirts, casual clothing.
Who doesn't like...
to dress well and look elegant?
Differences and classes are necessary.

We cannot all be poor,
and we cannot all be rich.
Some people must have money...
so they can give work to those...
who have no money.

Things are unaffordable for proletarians.
An employee...
with a low salary cannot eat here,
the price of a meal is 200 Cordobas.
If it were 10, everybody would come here.
You are always in the middle,
someone is in front of you and someone behind.
You have to try to reach the one in front...
and to avoid the one behind catching you up.

To sit here and order an espresso...
without feeling guilty...
In 1985 the Intercontinental...
was the only place in Managua...
with a breakfast buffet.
That was of course frowned upon and decadent...
to those devoted to the revolution.

But after months of rice and beans...
we allowed our desire for food...
to triumph over our moral.
It was affordable for us.

We were more equal then too.

While I'm waiting for Don Herty,
Managuas mayor, a Sandinista,

I watch Don Francisco...
and think of the long-haired...
very casually dressed foreigners,
a colourful bunch of internationalists...
who used to dream while eating breakfast,
that one day...
the Intercontinental would be affordable to all.
During the eighties a lot of young people came.


What did you think of these people?

At that time, after the change...
from Somoza to the Sandinista,
a lot of strange people came here.


People with long hair,
with various bad odours,
people from countries such as Bulgaria,
countries who were politically left wing.

The people with class and money didn't come...
to do business here.
Rich people were scared to come here...
and to invest in this country.

You know each other, don't you?

Don Francisco Ramírez,
he has been working at the hotel for 30 years.
Do you know the mayor?

Don Lewites, of course.

It was a long time ago.

- How are you? - Very well, Don Herty.
He will always be young.

Despite everything...

Did you know each other then?

- 20 years ago... - Of course.

- How is your family? - Fine, Don Herty...

- Do you always work here? - Always.

May I?

What memories do you have of this hotel?

People used to polemicize against this hotel,

because...
85 - 90 % of it belongs to the Somoza family.

I remember how all of us used to come here...

in our military uniforms, with our guns etc...

It was like an operations centre, the Sandinista...

had taken it over completely.


All the rooms.

Hundreds of militia men used to live here.

When they presented us with the bill,

we owed thousands of dollars.

The commanders asked: "what is going on?"

And they said:

"You are the minister of tourism...
and responsible for the hotel."

So I said:

"We already owe...
200'000 dollars for food and accommodation."

And they said: "Get out" and they all left.

There were also thousands...

which was 6 months...
@
* 00030.07-00035.00 04.10 00.0 1 0003 02 16-090-090
we fought against the machismo of the men,
@

who don't respect women,

@

We have inherited...
@

this machismo,
@
* 00057.00-00062.05 05.06 00.0 1 0008 03 16-090-090
that's why we have to fight...

to make them accept us.
@
* 00066.04-00070.10 04.07 00.0 1 0010 04 16-090-090
We educate them...
@
* 00070.14-00076.07 05.10 00.0 1 0011 04 16-090-090
because we consider them...
@
* 00076.11-00079.07 02.13 00.0 1 0012 04 16-090-090
as one of us.
@
* 00080.05-00082.10 02.06 00.0 1 0013 04 16-090-090
We love them,
@

but we ourselves want to experience...
@

what they have suffered,
@
* 00090.11-00092.13 02.03 00.0 1 0016 04 16-090-090
that's why...
@
* 00093.01-00095.11 02.11 00.0 1 0017 04 16-090-090
we continue to fight,
@

to make our men understand,

@
* 00104.13-00107.10 02.14 00.0 1 0020 05 16-090-090
what they are doing.
@
* 00107.14-00112.00 04.03 00.0 1 0021 05 16-090-090
We definitely don't want to fight against them...
@
* 00118.04-00123.04 05.01 00.0 1 0022 05 16-090-090
The idea was good, but I don't like war.
@
* 00127.15-00130.07 02.09 00.0 1 0023 05 16-090-090
You don't like war?
@
* 00136.06-00139.12 03.07 00.0 1 0024 05 16-090-090
I don't like war,
@
* 00140.00-00142.10 02.11 00.0 1 0025 05 16-090-090
because people die.
@
* 00143.15-00146.00 02.02 00.0 1 0026 05 16-090-090
During this era...
@
* 00146.04-00149.14 03.11 00.0 1 0027 05 16-090-090
there wasn't much to be done,
@
* 00150.02-00152.06 02.05 00.0 1 0028 05 16-090-090
things were restricted,
@
* 00152.10-00156.01 03.08 00.0 1 0029 05 16-090-090
not everybody could go to school.
@
* 00160.13-00163.01 02.05 00.0 1 0030 05 16-090-090
And the war itself:
@
* 00165.00-00170.01 05.02 00.0 1 0031 05 16-090-090
a lot of innocent people lost their lives.
@
* 00173.10-00178.13 05.04 00.0 1 0032 05 16-090-090
I think they should have invested...
@
* 00179.01-00184.08 05.08 00.0 1 0033 05 16-090-090
in something else instead of the war.
@
* 00185.11-00191.05 05.11 00.0 1 0034 05 16-090-090
He knows little about history.
@
* 00192.06-00196.06 04.01 00.0 1 0035 05 16-090-090
Maybe it's due to a lack of communication,
@
* 00198.06-00202.01 03.12 00.0 1 0036 05 16-090-090
we have never talked about it.
@
* 00202.05-00206.11 04.07 00.0 1 0037 05 16-090-090
But after the war...
@
* 00207.11-00209.10 02.00 00.0 1 0038 05 16-090-090
the Frente gave me...
@
* 00209.14-00213.09 03.12 00.0 1 0039 05 16-090-090
a scholarship to study law.

@
* 00223.05-00225.08 02.04 00.0 1 0041 06 16-090-090
I didn't dare ask Magali,
@
* 00225.13-00230.10 04.14 00.0 1 0042 06 16-090-090
a convinced Sandinista,
@
* 00231.07-00235.13 04.07 00.0 1 0043 06 16-090-090
why she didn't tell her sons more.
@
* 00236.10-00239.12 03.03 00.0 1 0044 06 16-090-090
Is she ashamed of the failure?
@
* 00240.11-00243.02 02.08 00.0 1 0045 06 16-090-090
Or does the memory hurt...
@
* 00245.00-00247.03 02.04 00.0 1 0046 06 16-090-090
as past comes back,
@
* 00247.07-00252.00 04.10 00.0 1 0047 06 16-090-090
forcing her to the following conclusion:
@
* 00252.08-00255.02 02.11 00.0 1 0048 06 16-090-090
the revolution is over.
@
* 00258.09-00260.12 02.04 00.0 1 0049 06 16-090-090
Perhaps the problems...
@
* 00261.00-00264.07 03.08 00.0 1 0050 06 16-090-090
of the present are too overwhelming...
@
* 00264.11-00268.11 04.01 00.0 1 0051 06 16-090-090
to be able to afford the luxury of remembering,
@
* 00268.15-00271.06 02.08 00.0 1 0052 06 16-090-090
as it provides no solutions.
@
* 00306.01-00309.01 03.01 00.0 1 0053 06 16-090-090
We want some cake now,
@
* 00309.15-00313.14 04.00 00.0 1 0054 06 16-090-090
even if it's only a small piece!

Two women in uniform,
@
* 00391.00-00394.04 03.05 00.0 1 0056 06 16-090-090
a revolution, a poem...
@
* 00397.09-00401.04 03.12 00.0 1 0057 06 16-090-090
Who is the other woman in the photograph?
@
* 00401.09-00403.06 01.14 00.0 1 0058 06 16-090-090

@
* 00404.12-00406.14 02.03 00.0 1 0059 06 16-090-090
Has she, like many others,
@
* 00407.02-00411.07 04.06 00.0 1 0060 06 16-090-090
emigrated to Costa Rica or to the US?

everybody knows something,
@

and somebody thought...
@

she had died...
@

Of course I remember her,
@

she sang a nice song for us: "Everlasting Love".
@
* 00446.10-00449.12 03.03 00.0 1 0067 07 16-090-090
Everlasting love...
@
* 00450.04-00453.12 03.09 00.0 1 0068 07 16-090-090
Unforgettable...
@
* 00454.14-00458.02 03.05 00.0 1 0069 07 16-090-090
Sooner or later...
@

I will be with you again.
@

I will continue to love you...
@
* 00474.11-00479.03 04.09 00.0 1 0072 07 16-090-090
I remember how you filmed us...
@
* 00479.09-00484.13 05.05 00.0 1 0073 07 16-090-090
when we returned from the battalion.
@
* 00485.08-00489.06 03.15 00.0 1 0074 07 16-090-090
I left this daughter at a very young age,
@
* 00489.10-00491.11 02.02 00.0 1 0075 07 16-090-090
now she is a doctor.
@
* 00491.15-00496.15 05.01 00.0 1 0076 07 16-090-090
This is her daughter and this is my other one...
@
* 00497.15-00500.04 02.06 00.0 1 0077 07 16-090-090
Would you leave your daughter...
@
* 00500.08-00503.12 03.05 00.0 1 0078 07 16-090-090
behind for a mobilisation?
@
* 00504.00-00507.04 03.05 00.0 1 0079 07 16-090-090
If necessary I would.
@
* 00512.04-00515.02 02.15 00.0 1 0080 07 16-090-090
As a doctor I would go...
@
* 00515.06-00520.05 05.00 00.0 1 0081 07 16-090-090
and help the people.
@
* 00602.03-00605.02 03.00 00.0 1 0082 07 16-090-090
Do you remember her name?
@
* 00606.08-00610.15 04.08 00.0 1 0083 07 16-090-090
One of her sisters lives in this street.
@
* 00612.08-00615.03 02.12 00.0 1 0084 07 16-090-090
Do you know her name?
@
* 00616.03-00619.10 03.08 00.0 1 0085 07 16-090-090
No, but I know her.
@
* 00622.01-00625.10 03.10 00.0 1 0086 07 16-090-090
The intention of the revolution was good,
@
* 00625.14-00634.00 08.03 00.0 1 0087 07 16-090-090
but human beings are capable of nothing.
@
* 00634.06-00636.12 02.07 00.0 1 0088 07 16-090-090
And the benefit:
@
* 00637.01-00639.10 02.10 00.0 1 0089 07 16-090-090
to work...
@
* 00639.14-00644.05 04.08 00.0 1 0090 07 16-090-090
merely to enrich yourself is bad.
@
* 00645.00-00650.04 05.05 00.0 1 0091 07 16-090-090
That's why I prefer to work for God.
@
* 00650.08-00655.00 04.09 00.0 1 0092 07 16-090-090
The revolutionary process...
@
* 00656.02-00658.08 02.07 00.0 1 0093 07 16-090-090
was beautiful.
@
* 00663.01-00665.09 02.09 00.0 1 0094 07 16-090-090
I liked it very much,
@
* 00667.08-00670.08 03.01 00.0 1 0095 07 16-090-090
but now I belong to Jesus Christ.

San Benito is a saint...
@
* 00871.10-00874.01 02.08 00.0 1 0097 08 16-090-090
who fulfils all our requests.
@
* 00875.09-00880.03 04.11 00.0 1 0098 08 16-090-090
I owe him two promises for my sons.
@
* 00883.00-00885.07 02.08 00.0 1 0099 08 16-090-090
My elder son...
@
* 00885.11-00889.10 04.00 00.0 1 0100 08 16-090-090
was born with one eye smaller.
@
* 00891.07-00898.08 07.02 00.0 1 0101 08 16-090-090
The deformation was very obvious.
@
* 00898.15-00906.05 07.07 00.0 1 0102 08 16-090-090
The doctors suggested plastic surgery,
@
* 00908.00-00914.02 06.03 00.0 1 0103 08 16-090-090
but without means, no operation.
@
* 00914.06-00919.00 04.11 00.0 1 0104 08 16-090-090
So I asked San Benito to redo the eye.
@
* 00921.09-00925.10 04.02 00.0 1 0105 08 16-090-090
And after some time...
@
* 00925.14-00931.10 05.13 00.0 1 0106 08 16-090-090
the eye became normal.
@
* 00933.02-00936.02 03.01 00.0 1 0107 08 16-090-090
The second miracle:
@
* 00936.06-00939.09 03.04 00.0 1 0108 08 16-090-090
my younger son...

@
* 00941.06-00945.03 03.14 00.0 1 0109 09 16-090-090

@
* 00946.11-00951.05 04.11 00.0 1 0110 09 16-090-090
I was desperate...
@
* 00951.09-00953.13 02.05 00.0 1 0111 09 16-090-090
and asked San Benito...
@
* 00954.01-00957.08 03.08 00.0 1 0112 09 16-090-090
to make him all in one piece.
@
* 00959.12-00962.08 02.13 00.0 1 0113 09 16-090-090
When my son was born...
@
* 00962.12-00967.02 04.07 00.0 1 0114 09 16-090-090
I asked if he was all in one piece.
@
* 00968.10-00973.07 04.14 00.0 1 0115 09 16-090-090
I could see that nothing was missing.
@
* 00973.11-00977.06 03.12 00.0 1 0116 09 16-090-090
So I promised San Benito...
@
* 00977.10-00980.08 02.15 00.0 1 0117 09 16-090-090
I would remember...
@
* 00981.11-00984.08 02.14 00.0 1 0118 09 16-090-090
and honour him every year.
@
* 01001.04-01003.04 02.01 00.0 1 0119 09 16-090-090
To the right.
@
* 01006.01-01008.01 02.01 00.0 1 0120 09 16-090-090
The first one?
@
* 01008.08-01011.03 02.12 00.0 1 0121 09 16-090-090
- Yes. - Thank you.
@
* 01011.11-01013.06 01.12 00.0 1 0122 09 16-090-090
At your service!
@
* 01030.02-01032.00 01.15 00.0 1 0123 09 16-090-090
She will be right here.
@
* 01057.10-01060.13 03.04 00.0 1 0124 09 16-090-090
- Are you Cecilia? - Yes.
@
* 01063.12-01067.13 04.02 00.0 1 0125 09 16-090-090
- You don't remember me? - No.
@
* 01070.13-01073.02 02.06 00.0 1 0126 09 16-090-090
Do you remember being...
@
* 01073.06-01075.12 02.07 00.0 1 0127 09 16-090-090
in the battalion together?
@
* 01080.00-01084.06 04.07 00.0 1 0128 09 16-090-090
Yes, in the Verónica Lacayo battalion.
@
* 01090.05-01093.08 03.04 00.0 1 0129 09 16-090-090
We have been looking for you.
@
* 01095.09-01097.11 02.03 00.0 1 0130 09 16-090-090
Do you remember this photograph?
@
* 01097.15-01099.15 02.01 00.0 1 0131 09 16-090-090
I would like to see it.
@
* 01108.05-01111.12 03.08 00.0 1 0132 09 16-090-090
Do you remember us being there?
@
* 01113.11-01117.04 03.10 00.0 1 0133 09 16-090-090
Yes, in Santrita, right?
@
* 01121.01-01123.04 02.04 00.0 1 0134 09 16-090-090
It was such a long time ago.
@
* 01128.05-01131.04 03.00 00.0 1 0135 09 16-090-090
Yes, I was a girl,
@
* 01132.15-01135.02 02.04 00.0 1 0136 09 16-090-090
about 16...
@
* 01140.07-01143.07 03.01 00.0 1 0137 09 16-090-090
We were celebrating your birthday.
@
* 01143.11-01145.10 02.00 00.0 1 0138 09 16-090-090
Yes, the 15th.
@
* 01146.10-01148.09 02.00 00.0 1 0139 09 16-090-090
- Your 15th? - Yes.

@
* 01151.05-01158.07 07.03 00.0 1 0140 10 16-090-090
Yes. I am married and have 4 children.
@
* 01159.05-01160.12 01.08 00.0 1 0141 10 16-090-090
Come here!
@

Roxanna,
@
* 01173.01-01175.00 02.00 00.0 1 0143 10 16-090-090
Barbara,
@
* 01175.06-01180.04 04.15 00.0 1 0144 10 16-090-090
José León, the little one.
@
* 01181.01-01186.14 05.14 00.0 1 0145 10 16-090-090
We call him "bald head", because he is a rascal.
@
* 01196.00-01198.07 02.08 00.0 1 0146 10 16-090-090
Would you like to come in?
@
* 01233.13-01238.03 04.07 00.0 1 0147 10 16-090-090
So one of the few...
@
* 01238.13-01242.15 04.03 00.0 1 0148 10 16-090-090
happily married women?
@
* 01243.03-01246.15 03.13 00.0 1 0149 10 16-090-090
A little bit happy,
@
* 01247.12-01252.09 04.14 00.0 1 0150 10 16-090-090
but there are always problems,
@
* 01252.13-01256.04 03.08 00.0 1 0151 10 16-090-090
financial problems.
@
* 01256.08-01258.01 01.10 00.0 1 0152 10 16-090-090
I work for...
@
* 01258.05-01259.15 01.11 00.0 1 0153 10 16-090-090
Avon.
@
* 01260.13-01263.06 02.10 00.0 1 0154 10 16-090-090
For women,
@
* 01264.03-01271.14 07.12 00.0 1 0155 10 16-090-090
they sell cosmetics.
@
* 01275.10-01279.02 03.09 00.0 1 0156 10 16-090-090
We don't earn much,
@
* 01280.03-01284.04 04.02 00.0 1 0157 10 16-090-090
but at least it helps.
@
* 01284.08-01288.13 04.06 00.0 1 0158 10 16-090-090
My husband helps more,
@
* 01289.01-01296.10 07.10 00.0 1 0159 10 16-090-090
he works with household appliances,
@
* 01296.14-01304.07 07.10 00.0 1 0160 10 16-090-090
TVs, mixers, irons, microwaves,
@
* 01304.11-01310.08 05.14 00.0 1 0161 10 16-090-090
washing machines, ventilators, sewing machines...
@
* 01311.01-01313.01 02.01 00.0 1 0162 10 16-090-090
That was...
@
* 01313.12-01319.01 05.06 00.0 1 0163 10 16-090-090
when I met her in the army...
@
* 01323.12-01326.09 02.14 00.0 1 0164 10 16-090-090
Are you still in the party?

@

"Not dead are those...
@

who rest in sweet peace...

who live on with a cold soul."

This poem by Rubén Darío...
@
* 01360.07-01363.01 02.11 00.0 1 0172 12 16-090-090
inspired me,
@
* 01363.05-01367.00 03.12 00.0 1 0173 12 16-090-090
as many people had died...
@
* 01367.11-01370.03 02.09 00.0 1 0174 12 16-090-090
during the fight.
@
* 01373.08-01378.01 04.10 00.0 1 0175 12 16-090-090
They said: this one died, that one died...
@
* 01381.01-01383.06 02.06 00.0 1 0176 12 16-090-090
I said,
@
* 01384.03-01388.05 04.03 00.0 1 0177 12 16-090-090
the fallen are not dead,
@
* 01389.01-01393.12 04.12 00.0 1 0178 12 16-090-090
we are dead,
@
* 01397.02-01400.03 03.02 00.0 1 0179 12 16-090-090
because we have a cold soul.
@
* 01400.07-01407.08 07.02 00.0 1 0180 12 16-090-090
You had a cold soul?
@
* 01410.12-01413.15 03.04 00.0 1 0181 12 16-090-090
Yes, we had...
@
* 01414.03-01418.01 03.15 00.0 1 0182 12 16-090-090
a cold soul.
@
* 01419.13-01422.04 02.08 00.0 1 0183 12 16-090-090
What do you mean?
@
* 01422.15-01425.07 02.09 00.0 1 0184 12 16-090-090
Because of our nerves,
@
* 01426.11-01430.15 04.05 00.0 1 0185 12 16-090-090
because we were homesick,
@
* 01431.09-01436.04 04.12 00.0 1 0186 12 16-090-090
we also felt dead because we never knew...
@
* 01436.08-01440.08 04.01 00.0 1 0187 12 16-090-090
if we would wake up dead.
@
* 01457.04-01461.01 03.14 00.0 1 0188 12 16-090-090
It is right that we are happy for those...
@
* 01461.11-01464.10 03.00 00.0 1 0189 12 16-090-090
who came back.
@
* 01468.09-01473.06 04.14 00.0 1 0190 12 16-090-090
But it is also right...
@
* 01473.10-01480.09 07.00 00.0 1 0191 12 16-090-090
that we honour those...
@
* 01481.01-01486.07 05.07 00.0 1 0192 12 16-090-090
who never came back.
@

To tell the world,
@
* 01491.02-01495.07 04.06 00.0 1 0194 12 16-090-090
the North American people:
@
* 01496.02-01499.06 03.05 00.0 1 0195 12 16-090-090
Here are our tears,
@

@

written in 1904:
@
* 01537.01-01540.08 03.08 00.0 1 0199 12 16-090-090
You are the United States,
@
* 01540.12-01543.11 03.00 00.0 1 0200 12 16-090-090
future invader of our naive America...
@
* 01543.15-01549.14 06.00 00.0 1 0201 12 16-090-090
with its Indian blood, an America

* 01550.08-01554.10 04.03 00.0 1 0202 12 16-090-090
that still prays to Christ...
@
* 01554.14-01557.14 03.01 00.0 1 0203 12 16-090-090
and still speaks Spanish.
@
* 01558.09-01562.04 03.12 00.0 1 0204 12 16-090-090

@
* 01562.08-01565.01 02.10 00.0 1 0205 12 16-090-090
That progress is an irruption,
@

That the future is wherever...

@

trembling with hurricanes, living with Love:
@
* 01590.02-01595.12 05.11 00.0 1 0212 12 16-090-090
O men with Saxon eyes and barbarous souls,
@

our America lives.
@
* 01598.00-01601.01 03.02 00.0 1 0214 12 16-090-090
And dreams. And loves. And vibrates.
@
* 01601.05-01603.14 02.10 00.0 1 0215 12 16-090-090
And it is the daughter of the Sun.
@
* 01604.02-01609.03 05.02 00.0 1 0216 12 16-090-090
Be careful. Long live Spanish America!
@
* 01609.10-01612.14 03.05 00.0 1 0217 12 16-090-090

you are lacking one thing: God!

Rubén Darío,
@

the poet of Latin America.
@

Rubén Darío, the Indio...
@
* 00103.00-00106.03 03.04 00.0 1 0015 18 16-090-090
who renewed the language of the invaders -
@
* 00106.07-00108.10 02.04 00.0 1 0016 18 16-090-090
Spanish -
@
* 00109.05-00112.11 03.07 00.0 1 0017 18 16-090-090
in his poetry and...
@

made it shine.

@
* 00145.14-00149.02 03.05 00.0 1 0019 19 16-090-090
Both my brothers...
@
* 00150.01-00152.09 02.09 00.0 1 0020 19 16-090-090
and I swore:
@
* 00153.08-00156.06 02.15 00.0 1 0021 19 16-090-090
"Freedom for our country or death",
@
* 00156.10-00159.01 02.08 00.0 1 0022 19 16-090-090
to win or to die,
@
* 00159.15-00163.13 03.15 00.0 1 0023 19 16-090-090
and that would always be our motto.
@
* 00166.03-00168.10 02.08 00.0 1 0024 19 16-090-090
How come...
@
* 00170.00-00175.06 05.07 00.0 1 0025 19 16-090-090
a son from a good familiy...?
@
* 00177.01-00178.10 01.10 00.0 1 0026 19 16-090-090
Not only I,
@
* 00178.14-00182.15 04.02 00.0 1 0027 19 16-090-090
the whole family was against Somoza...
@
* 00183.08-00189.00 05.09 00.0 1 0028 19 16-090-090
without taking any action against him.
@
* 00190.00-00193.04 03.05 00.0 1 0029 19 16-090-090
My father was even in business...
@
* 00193.08-00198.05 04.14 00.0 1 0030 19 16-090-090
with some Somozistas, with ministers...
@
* 00198.15-00204.10 05.12 00.0 1 0031 19 16-090-090
At my secondary school however...
@
* 00205.10-00211.09 06.00 00.0 1 0032 19 16-090-090
we were all against Somoza.
@
* 00212.07-00215.09 03.03 00.0 1 0033 19 16-090-090
I joined the fight...
@
* 00216.05-00220.09 04.05 00.0 1 0034 19 16-090-090
and when I was 18 or 19 I realised...
@
* 00221.13-00225.07 03.11 00.0 1 0035 19 16-090-090
Somoza couldn't possibly be...
@
* 00226.07-00230.05 03.15 00.0 1 0036 19 16-090-090
overthrown through elections,
@
* 00231.11-00234.12 03.02 00.0 1 0037 19 16-090-090
because he always cheated.
@
* 00235.00-00237.09 02.10 00.0 1 0038 19 16-090-090
Therefore...
@
* 00237.13-00240.02 02.06 00.0 1 0039 19 16-090-090
a group of friends decided...
@
* 00240.10-00243.15 03.06 00.0 1 0040 19 16-090-090
to overthrow him.
@
* 00244.13-00247.10 02.14 00.0 1 0041 19 16-090-090
We bought weapons to take over barracks.
@
* 00248.12-00252.00 03.05 00.0 1 0042 19 16-090-090
I did one thing after another,
@
* 00252.04-00254.01 01.14 00.0 1 0043 19 16-090-090
ended in prison...
@
* 00254.05-00256.09 02.05 00.0 1 0044 19 16-090-090
had to go into exile, came back...

Your brother Israel was killed...
@
* 00263.07-00269.06 06.00 00.0 1 0046 20 16-090-090
When Israel was murdered in 1977 I thought:
@
* 00270.03-00275.06 05.04 00.0 1 0047 20 16-090-090
Now I have more responsibilities than ever.
@
* 00275.14-00278.14 03.01 08.5 1 0048 20 16-090-090
I had recruited him.
@
* 00279.02-00281.01 02.00 08.5 1 0049 20 16-090-090
Whenever I do something,
@
* 00281.05-00283.07 02.03 08.5 1 0050 20 16-090-090
I think of him...
@
* 00283.11-00287.01 03.07 08.5 1 0051 20 16-090-090
and many others who are dead...
@
* 00287.14-00292.03 04.06 08.5 1 0052 20 16-090-090
with the ethical responsibility:
@
* 00293.13-00296.04 02.08 00.0 1 0053 20 16-090-090
I cannot disappoint you,
@
* 00296.08-00299.01 02.10 00.0 1 0054 20 16-090-090
I have to continue your struggle,
@
* 00299.05-00301.05 02.01 00.0 1 0055 20 16-090-090
in which you dreamt...
@

of a beautiful country.

@
* 00316.07-00319.11 03.05 00.0 1 0058 21 16-090-090
and they did more than just dreaming:
@
* 00321.07-00323.10 02.04 00.0 1 0059 21 16-090-090
Still, Magali couldn't...
@
* 00323.14-00326.07 02.10 00.0 1 0060 21 16-090-090
make her son understand...
@

what had moved her.
@
* 00330.07-00333.01 02.11 00.0 1 0062 21 16-090-090
I also sometimes find it difficult...
@
* 00333.05-00336.07 03.03 00.0 1 0063 21 16-090-090
to remember the Nicaragua...
@
* 00336.11-00338.12 02.02 00.0 1 0064 21 16-090-090
that used to be a hope.
@
* 00339.04-00341.11 02.08 00.0 1 0065 21 16-090-090
But I come and go.
@
* 00341.15-00345.00 03.02 00.0 1 0066 21 16-090-090
Thus I can afford the luxury...
@
* 00345.04-00347.07 02.04 00.0 1 0067 21 16-090-090
of heroically refusing...
@
* 00347.11-00350.13 03.03 00.0 1 0068 21 16-090-090
to dismiss the hope we had then...
@
* 00351.01-00354.12 03.12 00.0 1 0069 21 16-090-090
as a misapprehension of reality.
@
* 00361.05-00363.04 02.00 00.0 1 0070 21 16-090-090
Thousands dreamt...
@

Women break away,
@

absurd, inconsistent,

that was a country that existed.

Sometimes they risked their lives...
@
* 00440.01-00443.09 03.09 00.0 1 0089 23 16-090-090
but they considered it to be more important...
@
* 00443.13-00446.08 02.12 00.0 1 0090 23 16-090-090
to work in a foreign country,
@

to pick coffee in a brigade,
@
* 00449.12-00454.00 04.05 00.0 1 0092 23 16-090-090
rather than worry about their own career.
@
* 00454.13-00458.09 03.13 00.0 1 0093 23 16-090-090
The fact that this situation didn't last...
@

to do with life...

@

that there is no other solution!
@

Could it be that you love adventures?

No, for me that is no longer the case.
@

I did that...
@

during 1978/79 in Bolivia,
@

pleasure drives, they were adventures.
@

But what we are experiencing now -
@

I don't think...
@
* 00619.00-00622.03 03.04 00.0 1 0125 25 16-090-090
you can call that an adventure.
@
* 00623.11-00625.04 01.10 00.0 1 0126 25 16-090-090
It is rather...

political work...

* 00641.15-00645.01 03.03 00.0 1 0132 25 16-090-090
an antiimperialistic struggle -
@
* 00646.01-00648.10 02.10 00.0 1 0133 25 16-090-090
so no adventure!
@
* 00651.10-00653.01 01.08 00.0 1 0134 25 16-090-090
That's it!
@
* 00682.12-00686.01 03.06 00.0 1 0135 25 16-090-090
Do we work here or what?
@
* 00703.05-00705.14 02.10 00.0 1 0136 25 16-090-090
The Nicas called him lovingly...
@
* 00706.02-00708.08 02.07 00.0 1 0137 25 16-090-090
the red haired madman,
@
* 00708.14-00712.06 03.09 00.0 1 0138 25 16-090-090
because he was full of strange ideas.
@
* 00713.08-00716.03 02.12 00.0 1 0139 25 16-090-090
For example building...
@
* 00716.07-00718.13 02.07 00.0 1 0140 25 16-090-090
a swimming pool for children...
@
* 00719.01-00722.05 03.05 00.0 1 0141 25 16-090-090
in a poor mountain village in the midst of a war!
@
* 00723.10-00727.02 03.09 00.0 1 0142 25 16-090-090
Yvan was famous in the whole area:
@
* 00728.05-00731.09 03.05 00.0 1 0143 25 16-090-090
the way he raced over the mountain roads...
@
* 00731.13-00734.13 03.01 00.0 1 0144 25 16-090-090
in his cream-coloured truck...
@
* 00735.01-00739.02 04.02 00.0 1 0145 25 16-090-090
with his favourite music playing loudly:
@
* 00739.06-00741.01 01.12 00.0 1 0146 25 16-090-090
Carmen!
@
* 00806.07-00806.07 00.01 00.0 1 0146 26 16-090-090

@
* 00806.08-00809.00 02.09 00.0 1 0147 26 16-090-090
On this 28th of July...
@
* 00810.02-00817.03 07.02 00.0 1 0148 26 16-090-090
I met Yvan in Marañoza.
@
* 00818.15-00822.06 03.08 00.0 1 0149 26 16-090-090
He gave some final instructions...
@
* 00822.10-00826.03 03.10 00.0 1 0150 26 16-090-090
for the construction...
@
* 00827.12-00831.13 04.02 00.0 1 0151 26 16-090-090
of a housing estate.
@
* 00832.05-00836.00 03.12 00.0 1 0152 26 16-090-090
His departure...
@
* 00836.04-00840.15 04.12 00.0 1 0153 26 16-090-090
was more or less a fact,
@
* 00841.03-00848.12 07.10 00.0 1 0154 26 16-090-090
as his work here was finished.
@
* 00849.00-00851.00 02.01 00.0 1 0155 26 16-090-090
We agreed...
@
* 00851.04-00854.09 03.06 00.0 1 0156 26 16-090-090
how we would drive.
@
* 00855.07-00857.15 02.09 00.0 1 0157 26 16-090-090
I asked Yvan:
@
* 00861.02-00868.15 07.14 00.0 1 0158 26 16-090-090
"Do you want to be in front or behind?"
@
* 00872.07-00874.06 02.00 00.0 1 0159 26 16-090-090
Yvan answered:
@
* 00874.10-00877.09 03.00 00.0 1 0160 26 16-090-090
"Listen, Anibal, it's better...
@
* 00878.10-00882.03 03.10 00.0 1 0161 26 16-090-090
if I am behind you."
@
* 00883.03-00886.06 03.04 00.0 1 0162 26 16-090-090
About 40 metres from here...
@
* 00889.03-00893.07 04.05 00.0 1 0163 26 16-090-090
I heard a shot.
@
* 00893.15-00897.08 03.10 00.0 1 0164 26 16-090-090
I knew immediately...
@
* 00897.12-00901.04 03.09 00.0 1 0165 26 16-090-090
that the Contras had laid an ambush.
@
* 00904.13-00906.13 02.01 00.0 1 0166 26 16-090-090
The horrifying,
@
* 00907.01-00909.03 02.03 00.0 1 0167 26 16-090-090
painful thing was,
@
* 00910.06-00915.14 05.09 00.0 1 0168 26 16-090-090
as was the nature of this war,
@
* 00916.05-00921.03 04.15 00.0 1 0169 26 16-090-090
the way the Contra...
@
* 00921.07-00928.04 06.14 00.0 1 0170 26 16-090-090
dealt with the wounded.
@
* 00930.00-00933.09 03.10 00.0 1 0171 26 16-090-090
Yvan was badly hurt...
@
* 00934.02-00935.13 01.12 00.0 1 0172 26 16-090-090
and they came...
@
* 00936.01-00939.02 03.02 00.0 1 0173 26 16-090-090
and finished him off brutally.
@
* 00955.04-00957.04 02.01 00.0 1 0174 26 16-090-090
Hello parents,
@
* 00958.14-00962.10 03.13 00.0 1 0175 26 16-090-090
first a big kiss to everyone.
@
* 00963.01-00966.00 03.00 00.0 1 0176 26 16-090-090
We are not doing too badly.
@
* 00966.04-00969.06 03.03 00.0 1 0177 26 16-090-090
As you can read in the newspapers,
@
* 00969.10-00971.03 01.10 00.0 1 0178 26 16-090-090
there is a war here.
@
* 00971.07-00973.14 02.08 00.0 1 0179 26 16-090-090
But what kind of a war!
@
* 00974.06-00976.07 02.02 00.0 1 0180 26 16-090-090
We work and fight...
@
* 00976.11-00978.13 02.03 00.0 1 0181 26 16-090-090
for a just cause,
@
* 00979.01-00982.07 03.07 00.0 1 0182 26 16-090-090
confronted with the aggression of the US...
@
* 00982.11-00986.00 03.06 00.0 1 0183 26 16-090-090
who want no justice for Nicaragua...
@
* 00986.04-00988.03 02.00 00.0 1 0184 26 16-090-090
and no development.
@
* 00988.07-00992.05 03.15 00.0 1 0185 26 16-090-090
Their government approves 100 million dollars...
@
* 00992.09-00994.04 01.12 00.0 1 0186 26 16-090-090
to attack,
@
* 00994.10-00996.01 01.08 00.0 1 0187 26 16-090-090
to lay mines...
@
* 00996.10-01000.00 03.07 00.0 1 0188 26 16-090-090
and to kill farmers and workers.
@
* 01001.01-01004.06 03.06 00.0 1 0189 26 16-090-090
This time I wasn't ambushed,
@
* 01004.10-01007.12 03.03 00.0 1 0190 26 16-090-090
I think I am still lucky.
@
* 01008.02-01011.07 03.06 00.0 1 0191 26 16-090-090
I was born under a lucky star,
@
* 01011.12-01013.15 02.04 00.0 1 0192 26 16-090-090
thanks, Mum!
@
* 01014.07-01017.09 03.03 00.0 1 0193 26 16-090-090
But perhaps tomorrow my turn will come,
@
* 01017.13-01020.00 02.04 00.0 1 0194 26 16-090-090
I write this coldly...
@
* 01020.04-01023.04 03.01 00.0 1 0195 26 16-090-090
because I know, that's how it is.
@
* 01023.08-01026.09 03.02 00.0 1 0196 26 16-090-090
If I have to sacrifice my life,
@
* 01026.15-01029.06 02.08 00.0 1 0197 26 16-090-090
it is for a beautiful...
@
* 01029.10-01031.15 02.06 00.0 1 0198 26 16-090-090
and good cause:
@
* 01032.03-01034.06 02.04 00.0 1 0199 26 16-090-090
It is for the poor...
@
* 01034.11-01036.07 01.13 00.0 1 0200 26 16-090-090
I have decided...
@
* 01036.11-01041.02 04.08 00.0 1 0201 26 16-090-090
that if I die I would like to stay in Nicaragua.
@
* 01041.06-01043.00 01.11 00.0 1 0202 26 16-090-090
At the moment...
@
* 01043.04-01045.09 02.06 00.0 1 0203 26 16-090-090
I have fun, I work,
@
* 01046.00-01049.10 03.11 00.0 1 0204 26 16-090-090
am full of energy and enjoy the tropical sun!
@
* 01049.15-01051.07 01.09 00.0 1 0205 26 16-090-090
See you soon.
@
* 01052.06-01053.15 01.10 00.0 1 0206 26 16-090-090
I love you both,
@
* 01054.03-01059.01 04.15 00.0 1 0207 26 16-090-090

* 01140.10-01142.15 02.06 00.0 1 0208 27 16-090-090
It is really beautiful...
@
* 01143.03-01146.14 03.12 00.0 1 0209 27 16-090-090
Yes, as if we were in the US.
@
* 01147.02-01150.03 03.02 00.0 1 0210 27 16-090-090
This is just like being in Miami...
@
* 01152.14-01154.10 01.13 00.0 1 0211 27 16-090-090
And it points to...
@
* 01154.14-01159.13 05.00 00.0 1 0212 27 16-090-090
the progress that has been made in Nicaragua.
@
* 01160.01-01162.08 02.08 00.0 1 0213 27 16-090-090
When such a company...
@
* 01163.14-01166.12 02.15 00.0 1 0214 27 16-090-090
invests 2 millions...
@
* 01167.00-01171.08 04.09 00.0 1 0215 27 16-090-090
This is already the third operation of this kind.
@
* 01171.12-01176.03 04.08 00.0 1 0216 27 16-090-090
- It shows the progress. - And it's creating jobs.
@
* 01187.03-01190.06 03.04 00.0 1 0217 27 16-090-090
Let's remember that we were...
@
* 01190.10-01193.00 02.07 00.0 1 0218 27 16-090-090
confronted with the superpower,
@
* 01195.08-01198.06 02.15 00.0 1 0219 27 16-090-090
the US.
@
* 01198.10-01202.02 03.09 00.0 1 0220 27 16-090-090
And also with the Catholic Church,
@
* 01202.13-01206.09 03.13 00.0 1 0221 27 16-090-090
humanity's oldest party.
@
* 01207.03-01212.01 04.15 00.0 1 0222 27 16-090-090
How were we able to hold on so long?
@
* 01212.07-01214.04 01.14 00.0 1 0223 27 16-090-090
It was impossible.
@
* 01214.08-01216.09 02.02 00.0 1 0224 27 16-090-090
So much was against us:
@
* 01217.04-01220.15 03.12 00.0 1 0225 27 16-090-090
A permanent campaign,
@
* 01221.03-01223.05 02.03 00.0 1 0226 27 16-090-090
the Catholic Church,
@
* 01224.10-01228.02 03.09 00.0 1 0227 27 16-090-090
the private sector,
@
* 01229.03-01232.05 03.03 00.0 1 0228 27 16-090-090
the US,
@
* 01232.09-01235.04 02.12 00.0 1 0229 27 16-090-090
a permanent war of aggression,

** scene-change **
@
* 01236.06-01238.01 01.12 00.0 1 0230 28 16-090-090
it was impossible.
@
* 01238.05-01244.00 05.12 00.0 1 0231 28 16-090-090
When the Sandinistas lost the election in 1990,
@
* 01244.04-01249.03 05.00 00.0 1 0232 28 16-090-090
how did you feel that day?
@
* 01249.07-01252.12 03.06 00.0 1 0233 28 16-090-090
At about 10 o'clock at night...
@
* 01253.10-01256.03 02.10 00.0 1 0234 28 16-090-090
I cried for an hour and a half,
@
* 01256.07-01261.06 05.00 00.0 1 0235 28 16-090-090
streams of tears.
@
* 01263.04-01268.00 04.13 00.0 1 0236 28 16-090-090
That helped.
@
* 01268.13-01272.06 03.10 00.0 1 0237 28 16-090-090
I may have cried like that as a child,
@
* 01272.10-01274.05 01.12 00.0 1 0238 28 16-090-090
but never since I'm a man.
@
* 01274.09-01276.09 02.01 00.0 1 0239 28 16-090-090
It was so painful.
@
* 01276.14-01280.12 03.15 00.0 1 0240 28 16-090-090
My own brother died in the war,
@
* 01281.00-01284.00 03.01 00.0 1 0241 28 16-090-090
which affected me very badly,
@
* 01284.04-01285.15 01.12 00.0 1 0242 28 16-090-090
but it was harder...
@
* 01286.13-01288.11 01.15 00.0 1 0243 28 16-090-090
when we lost.
@
* 01295.12-01298.15 03.04 00.0 1 0244 28 16-090-090
Then I thought:
@
* 01302.07-01304.07 02.01 00.0 1 0245 28 16-090-090
With all the weapons we have,
@
* 01304.11-01310.04 05.10 00.0 1 0246 28 16-090-090
with over 150'000 armed young men and women,
@
* 01311.01-01316.05 05.05 00.0 1 0247 28 16-090-090
why should we give up on the revolution...
@
* 01316.12-01320.03 03.08 00.0 1 0248 28 16-090-090
if we possess the military power?
@
* 01320.07-01323.11 03.05 00.0 1 0249 28 16-090-090
That was the great maturity...
@
* 01323.15-01326.03 02.05 00.0 1 0250 28 16-090-090
of the Frente Sandinista,
@
* 01327.04-01330.06 03.03 00.0 1 0251 28 16-090-090
accepting what the people wanted.

@

it never wanted to be.

Traute stayed.
@

I have to...
@

lock myself in now, as you see,
@

but that's the way it is.
@
* 00195.07-00199.10 04.04 00.0 1 0024 35 16-090-090

Well,
@
* 00226.10-00228.12 02.03 00.0 1 0028 36 16-090-090
I have a big machete,
@
* 00229.15-00235.12 05.14 00.0 1 0029 36 16-090-090
and if necessary I use it,
@
* 00236.00-00239.02 03.03 00.0 1 0030 36 16-090-090
we are well prepared,
@

in case something happens.
@
* 00243.10-00246.05 02.12 00.0 1 0032 36 16-090-090
When the guy up there wanted to break in...
@
* 00246.09-00250.10 04.02 00.0 1 0033 36 16-090-090
I ranted and raved...
@
* 00250.14-00253.03 02.06 00.0 1 0034 36 16-090-090
looking for the right words...
@
* 00253.07-00256.06 03.00 00.0 1 0035 36 16-090-090
in Spanish.
@
* 00256.10-00258.13 02.04 00.0 1 0036 36 16-090-090
I told him to get lost.
@
* 00259.01-00261.02 02.02 00.0 1 0037 36 16-090-090
And he did.
@
* 00261.06-00263.12 02.07 00.0 1 0038 36 16-090-090
My words chased him off,
@
* 00264.01-00267.02 03.02 00.0 1 0039 36 16-090-090
so I haven't used the machete ever.
@
* 00267.06-00272.15 05.10 00.0 1 0040 36 16-090-090
- Would you use the machete if...? - Definitely.

@

I wouldn't chop his head off,
@
* 00277.07-00281.00 03.10 00.0 1 0042 37 16-090-090
I don't know if I could do that.
@
* 00281.04-00284.05 03.02 00.0 1 0043 37 16-090-090
But I would threaten him and chase him,
@
* 00284.09-00286.00 01.08 00.0 1 0044 37 16-090-090
that's for sure.
@
* 00287.09-00289.13 02.05 00.0 1 0045 37 16-090-090
I get so furious...
@
* 00290.01-00293.09 03.09 00.0 1 0046 37 16-090-090
if somebody tries to steal from me...
@
* 00293.13-00296.04 02.08 00.0 1 0047 37 16-090-090
or wants to harass me,
@

I get really furious.

@

And look now! Water is being privatised!
@
* 00344.02-00348.05 04.04 00.0 1 0051 38 16-090-090
Terrible! What do we do? Nobody does anything.
@
* 00348.09-00352.00 03.08 00.0 1 0052 38 16-090-090
You can't do a thing. That's ugly.
@
* 00352.04-00355.12 03.09 00.0 1 0053 38 16-090-090
It is as if you were chained up.
@
* 00357.08-00361.13 04.06 00.0 1 0054 38 16-090-090
That's why I often said to Eveling:
@
* 00362.01-00365.13 03.13 00.0 1 0055 38 16-090-090
I don't want to see or hear any more.
@

Our grandparents...
@
* 00370.01-00374.01 04.01 00.0 1 0057 38 16-090-090
said the same:
@
* 00378.08-00383.02 04.11 00.0 1 0058 38 16-090-090
"We don't want to see the news anymore."
@
* 00383.12-00387.10 03.15 00.0 1 0059 38 16-090-090
It's the same over and over again.
@
* 00388.09-00392.01 03.09 00.0 1 0060 38 16-090-090
It is nice if you don't yet know...
@
* 00392.05-00394.08 02.04 00.0 1 0061 38 16-090-090
that it all repeats itself:
@
* 00394.12-00398.09 03.14 00.0 1 0062 38 16-090-090
when you are young, it's nice.
@

When you fly!
@

we could realise...
@

were crushed.
@
* 00416.00-00418.05 02.06 00.0 1 0067 39 16-090-090
A process which made you...
@
* 00418.09-00422.01 03.09 00.0 1 0068 39 16-090-090
continually grow has been interrupted,
@
* 00422.05-00427.11 05.07 00.0 1 0069 39 16-090-090
but the thought, the idea, hasn't.
@

@
* 00434.09-00437.12 03.04 00.0 1 0071 39 16-090-090
And then...
@
* 00438.01-00443.00 05.00 00.0 1 0072 39 16-090-090
Even though you appear to be sleeping...
@
* 00443.04-00447.06 04.03 00.0 1 0073 39 16-090-090
it's going through your head, you see the news,
@
* 00447.15-00452.15 05.01 00.0 1 0074 39 16-090-090
read the papers, meet friends...
@
* 00455.05-00460.02 04.14 00.0 1 0075 39 16-090-090
which initiates a process of reflection,
@
* 00461.05-00463.04 02.00 00.0 1 0076 39 16-090-090
but also...
@

of disappointment,

and if you didn't, you had missed it.

not a dream of a group...

who had power.

Yours, mine, Traute's, my mother's,
@

my sister's.
@
* 00523.14-00527.13 04.00 00.0 1 0089 41 16-090-090
It is very difficult...
@
* 00528.01-00532.00 04.00 00.0 1 0090 41 16-090-090
to believe in something again,
@
* 00532.04-00535.04 03.01 00.0 1 0091 41 16-090-090
because at that moment...
@
* 00536.00-00540.00 04.01 00.0 1 0092 41 16-090-090
you had everything...
@

and it was...
@
* 00544.10-00550.02 05.09 00.0 1 0094 41 16-090-090
impossible to realise...
@
* 00552.02-00553.11 01.10 00.0 1 0095 41 16-090-090
and now,
@

even if you...
@

really want to get it back,
@
* 00562.03-00565.13 03.11 00.0 1 0098 41 16-090-090
life's context is different:
@
* 00567.00-00571.00 04.01 00.0 1 0099 41 16-090-090
one's personal situation,
@

the emotional one,
@

the one in the country too.

a kind of Disneyland.

@

and decided...
@

to call this project Hertylandia.

I hope...
@

I don't think there is anybody...
@

who doesn't want to triumph in life.

When Disney created Disneyland...
@
* 00655.12-00659.06 03.11 00.0 1 0113 42 16-090-090
the whole of humanity recognised...
@
* 00659.10-00664.05 04.12 00.0 1 0114 42 16-090-090
that it brought happiness,
@

especially to children.
@

I don't think the Sandinista dream...
@
* 00723.02-00724.15 01.14 00.0 1 0117 42 16-090-090
will end.
@
* 00726.06-00731.14 05.09 00.0 1 0118 42 16-090-090
Because the song as such is very beautiful.

The singers are not always...

the way we would like them to be.

So you have to...
@
* 00742.11-00746.08 03.14 00.0 1 0122 42 16-090-090
look out for new singers...
@
* 00746.14-00750.15 04.02 00.0 1 0123 42 16-090-090
to turn the Sandinista revolution...
@

into reality.
@

The Sandinist revolution will not die,
@

it will not die.

"Our America,

@

O men with Saxon eyes and barbarous souls

Our America lives.

that never existed,

was to wake up, then I have achieved it now.
@

seems more real to me...

than the neon slogans of the trademarks...
