Una Ventana en La América Central - 5 short films about Central America

Doug Specht spent two months in Nicaragua and Honduras last summer, a part of which was spent as a member of the ENCA tour group visiting a range of organisations in Honduras. During his time there he put his experiences on film which on his return he edited, creating an impressive record of some of the problems encountered by those organisations.

The five short films include:

•   ‘Nicaragua, Una Ventana’ – largely but not exclusively covering the problems and successes of education in Nicaragua. Along with other volunteers, Doug spent one month teaching computing skills at a school in Managua.
•   The ENCA tour of Honduras, 2007.
•   ‘Nicaragua en Números’
•  A full interview (with dubbed simultaneous translation) of Victorino Espinales, leader of the bananeros protesting outside the National Assembly building in Managua.
•   A photo slide show from his two months in the region.

The DVDs cost £5 each and can be ordered from www.ca-dvd.co.uk or from ENCA. Money from the sales will be shared between ENCA and the Santa Rosa Fund which supports educational initiatives in Nicaragua.
