War on Nicaragua

About This Movie

War on Nicaragua is really a deep dive into the convoluted web of US involvement in Central America during the 80s. The documentary, narrated by William Greider, feels raw—almost urgent—as it painstakingly details the nuances of the Iran-contra scandal and the extent of American support for the contras. You get this sense of how the political climate was charged, and the pacing keeps you engaged as it unravels the layers of policy and propaganda. It’s an interesting blend of archival footage and interviews that paints a rather grim picture of US foreign policy. The atmosphere is quite tense, making it distinct from other documentaries of the time. Definitely a piece that sheds light on the complexities of interventionism.
