Description

Footage of a concert by the Nicaraguan band 'Heroes and Martyrs' at WFA in Manchester. After the interval one of the group speaks to the audience about the situation in Nicaragua, the role of the FSLN (Sandinista National Liberation Front) as a vanguard for the people and President Ronald Reagan's determination to defeat them through the economic blockage being imposed. The concert continues and at the end a collection is taken and a raffle drawn.

[Catalogued as part of 'Revitalising the Regions' a Screen Heritage UK project, 2011]
