At the height of the Cold War in the 1980s, a civil war between socialist-influenced Sandinistas and US-backed Contras ravaged Nicaragua. Using rare archival footage and contemporary interviews, American/Sandinista tells the story of a controversial group of US engineers who went further than anyone expected and paid the ultimate price.

Reviews
ThiefHott Too much of everything
Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
