Vor 45 Jahren, mit dem Sieg der Revolution in Nicaragua, beginnt eine Ära der Hoffnung. Eine junge Generation übernimmt die Regierung mit dem ehrgeizigen Ziel, eine gerechtere und sozialere Gesellschaft aufzubauen.
Allein aus Westdeutschland reisen in den 80er Jahren 15.000 „BrigadistInnen“ zum Wiederaufbau des ausgebluteten Landes nach Nicaragua: Liberale, Grüne, GewerkschafterInnen, SozialdemokratInnen, Linke und Kirchenvertreter ernten Kaffee und Baumwolle, bauen Schulen, Kindergärten und Krankenstationen. Keine Bewegung hat so viele Menschen mobilisiert. Auch die Regisseurin Petra Hoffmann ist mit dabei. 45 Jahre nach dem Sieg der Revolution fragt sie nach, was aus den Wünschen und Träumen der RevolutionärInnen und ihrer UnterstützerInnen geworden ist.

On July 19, 1979, the Sandinista People’s Revolution in Nicaragua overthrew the brutal dictator Somoza and made the world dream.
The construction of a new, more social and just society “between the blocks” seemed possible. Tens of thousands from all over the world travel to the small Central American country to support the young government and rebuild the plundered country.
From what was then West Germany alone, over 15,000 supporters made their way to the small Central American country. In international brigades, they harvested coffee and cotton, built schools, kindergartens and health centers to rebuild the maltreated country. The purchase of “Nica coffee” becomes a symbol of international solidarity with the country.
The Contra, which is supported by Somoza supporters and the USA, attempts to overthrow the revolution and restore the old balance of power.
The civil war costs the lives of 50,000 Nicarguans and German “reconstruction helpers” are also kidnapped and killed by the Contra in the 1980s.
And then the unbelievable happens: in April 2018, students protested against the former revolutionary hero and current president Daniel Ortega. Over 400 people were shot dead by paramilitaries. The country sinks into a bloodbath. Ortega’s international supporters are also increasingly being targeted. They have been collecting money for projects in Nicaragua for 45 years. Today, they fear for their lives and are fleeing the country. Those who remain no longer dare to raise their voices against the former revolutionary hero.
