We see footage of the young, poorly equipped Nicaraguan soldiers as we listen to a protest song performed by one of the soldiers. English TV journalist, Jon Snow, says that the Nicaraguan army is not well equipped by the Cubans, contrary to claims by US President Reagan. He observes that the weapons are out-of-date and that radios and fuel are in short supply.
Curator’s notes
Bradbury is making a compelling case that the US claims are incorrect, by the combination of the footage he selects and the journalist’s authoritative, calm comments.
