Pictures from a Revolution
"[Meiselas'] film is a frank and startling meditation on the contradictions of the photographer's historical record and the recent past."--Leslie Camhi, Village Voice
No one captured more powerfully the suffering, sacrifice and, finally, the celebration that accompanied the Sandinista victory in Nicaragua than Magnum photographer Susan Meiselas. A decade later, Meiselas returned to Nicaragua to track down the people in her photographs - guerrillas, somocistas, simple bystanders. The result is a provocative study of a revolution and its aftermath, as well as a frank inquiry into the perils of recording history as it happens.
Director: Susan Meiselas, Richard P. Rogers & Alfred Guzzett, Country: USA, Release: 1991, Runtime: 90
