Sinopsis
An experimental documentary about American expansionist and military dictator William Walker, who became president of Nicaragua in 1856. Blending found footage, ethnographic inquiry and personal travelogue, the film tells us something about history, but also how art and poetry can be a means to subvert and transcend even the most oppressive of narratives.
