Las Sandinistas is an important contribution to telling a not so prominent part of Nicaraguan Revolutionary History: the participation of women* in the revolution and their later struggles within the FSLN. The accounts of former guerilleras from different social backgrounds are important voices that have to be heard-especially in the current political climate in Nicaragua which is working hard to eradicate oppostionary view points. The stories of their struggle are truly inspiring, especially the original footage from the 1970s and 80s makes it even more tangible.
Excellent documentary and must see for anyone interested in the relation between left-wing revolutionary movements and feminism.
