Discovering the Hidden Lives of Nicaragua’s Ragpickers: A Powerful Film by Laura Baumeister

In Europe, we don’t necessarily have a good image of Nicaragua, a Central American country located between Costa Rica and Honduras and which has gone from a right-wing dictatorship (the Somoza dynasty) to a left-wing one (the former -revolutionary Daniel Ortega). Was it really necessary to add more? For her first feature film, supported by a number of European co-producers, Laura Baumeister does not seem to have asked herself the question too much by directing her camera on her darkest misery: that of the ragpickers of La Chureca, a large open-air dump of the capital Managua.
