1979 Managua, Nicaragua for ABC.wmv [00:28]
1979, Documentary film by Detroit Annie in Managua, Nicaragua, around Xmas - I was commuting between Brussels and Paris, had a enough (from doing the Tambacounda documentary) for a ticket to see Jesse in Costa Rica for Xmas, and had inside info about the Nicaraguan revolution about to happen, so arranged with ABC news (whom I'd worked with before in Ny) to cover it freelance while I was on that side of the globe. Arrived ok, ABC called and wanted me to go to Managua right away to film a demonstration - I said look, I'm not rich, can't go twice, and have inside info that the real revolution will be in ten days, not now - they insisted, promised to reimburse planefare, have a hotel room waiting and a local chauffeur, all the film I'd need, by courrier plane, no problem - so I went.

Colonia Maestro Gabriel Managua Nicaragua Fiesta Sandinistas FSLN, Candidatura Daniel Ortega [12:16]
En la Colonia Maestro Gabriel inicio la campaña oficial de la candidatura del comandante hermano compañero presidente corrumpto Daniel Ortega el cual se va robar las eleciones en Noviembre, Habitantes del barrio colonia maestro gabriel se reunieron en la Cancha de Futbol y Baloncesto recien construida por el gobierno para celebrar el inicio de la candidatura de Daniel Ortega, Lo mas extraño es que inican la fiesta con musica America de Michael Jackson y un Niño imitando los pasos de la cancion Billie Jean. Pues yo pensaba que Los Sandinistas no quieren a Los Americanos, Supuestamente los Sandinistas el FSLN son comunistas de izquierda desde la revoluion en 1979, durante la decada de los 80s Nicaragua sufrio en regimen dictatorial por parte del FSLN, Odiaban y no querian a Los Americanos. Despues Imitan bailes tipicos nicaraguenses Como Managua Linda Managua.
