Evelyn Martinez, an award-winning Nicaraguan actress who works for Radio Sandino and the Asociacion Sandinista de Trabajadores de la Cultura (ASTC), was the Ryan/Socialis West Coast coordinator of the National Network in Solidarity with Nicaragua before returning to her country.
In spite of the U.S.-financed war, our people are creating, our artists are entertaining our combatants. This has helped us to resist the incredible aggression by the United States.
And our art always has a political role. We want to keep people informed about what is happening and helping them clarify the issues—through humor and drama. This was done primarily until 1985 through Radio Sandino. We put on two plays about Eden Pastora, for example, and about the elections under the Somoza dictatorship.
This year we held the first national video festival. This is an important tool to counter the disinformation that is spread about Nicaragua in this country. I want to end by thanking Socialist Action for its support to our struggle. Together we will win.
