This is only one out of a series of 12 videoletters, sent from Nicaragua, and broadcasted by VPRO during a 5-month period around the last elections in that country. Through the reporters’ personal impression, the series gives and intimate feeling of the political and human dimensions of the Central American conflict.Mr. Fallaux has chosen to produce the letters in a spontaneous, non-polished style, working in an informal partnership with a very young non-professional sandinista video-crew. During the series, the viewers get to know the members of the crew and their views too. This particular letter is the only one produced, for the largest part, outside of Nicaragua and with a stand-in crew. It describes the crumbling facade of Costa Rica’s much heralded “neutrality”, and at the end of the program, back in Managua, we witness the departure ot the war front of Mr. Fallaux’s cameraman. POST NICARAGUA is an unusual series, as it is uncommon for a national network to commit itself to the systematical airing of so many programs on one news subject. Unusual too is the reporter’s tone: through acknowledged subjectivity in his dogged pursuit of full comprehension of the war in Nicaragua, the series is informative without pretense: the subjectivity induces a sense of relativity.Mr. Fallaux’s observations have been aired as autonomic programs, without commentary from third parties. As the series proceeded, the viewers acquired a feeling and a sense of the Nicaraguan situation that is uncommon in more incidental reporting.
