| The film follows the daily life of a group of British volunteers who travelled to the mountain regions of Nicaragua to help with the coffee harvest while local workers were otherwise engaged in fighting the Contras. |
| But it did not stop financial and political support to the Contras, it only forced the US administration to act secretively and cautiously. |
| If you hear the word Nicaragua and think Sandinistas and Contras, you're nearly two decades behind the times. |
| Police, army, and Sandinistas killed former Contras, and northern Contra bands committed similar acts, often because of land disputes. |
| In 1986 the World Court ruled that the US had violated international law by mining the waters of Nicaragua and arming the Contras. |
| In Nicaragua the state of emergency has been suspended, a partial cease-fire introduced and indirect contact established with the Contras. |
