1980s. The Counter-Revolution from three media points of view: that of the United States, that of foreign countries and that of Nicaragua . Comparison of the "reality" of Nicaragua in a "state of war" and how it is portrayed by the American media, which is heavily influenced by the role of the United States in this conflict. Various documents illustrate this approach: NBC and ABC television reports on recent events; the American NB Archives on the history of Nicaragua; a film shot by the Sandinista army; and Super 8 reports shot by the two journalists in December 1985 and January 1986.
