Indiqué sur la jaquette : Harvest of peace : During the height of the U.S.-backed Contra war in Nicaragua in the mid-1980s, hundred of North Americans traveled to this Central American country to volunteer their labor in the cotton and coffee harvets. Harvest of peace is an intimate portrait of one group of U.S. volunteers as they witness the effects of the Sandinista revolution on Nicaraguan people and engage in a unique citizen-to-citizen peace effort. ; Indiqué sur la jaquette : Futbolito : A Journey Through Central America is the video chronicle of the five North American athletes who traveled through Guatemala and Nicaragua waging peace with a popular new foot game known as fottbag or 'Hacky Sack.' The film celebrates the unique power of people-to-people diplomacy, through the sharing of a cooperative game, to overcome cultural stereotypes and political barriers. ; Indiqué sur la jaquette : Irma's Journey : A chronicle of a unique spiritual and cultural pilgrimage to Senegal, West Africa by African-American storyteller, Irma Gardner-Hammond who, along with her 17-year-old son, Earl, make an emotional re-connection with their African roots.
