LAS SANDINISTAS! (2018, 96 min) is an appropriately timed documentary about the capacity of women in times of social upheaval and democratic unrest. Filmmaker Jenny Murray uncovers a watershed moment in history when a group of Nicaraguan women shattered barriers to lead rebel troops in battle and reshape their country with landmark social reforms during 1979’s Sandinista Revolution and the ensuing US-backed Contra War – only to face renewed marginalization by their male peers once the wars ended.
