Sinopse
DREAMING NICARAGUA is a sensitive portrayal of four children living in extreme poverty in NI. The film takes us beyond their hardships and gives voice to the children, who are surprisingly funny, hopeful and optimistic. A traveling art teacher provides a safe arena for our four unlikely protagonists to express their innermost thoughts. When painting, the children momentarily escape the stresses of their reality into a world of dreams and ideas, a stark contrast to their lives outside: a vicious cycle of hunger, child labor and violence. Despite the extreme circumstances, the children and their families face their realities with an inspiring unity and strength.
