The Unstoppable Revolution

' When the Christians of Latin America join the revolution, the revolution will be unstoppable.' Six years ago these words were spoken by Ernesto Cardenal. Then he was a revolutionary poet and Catholic priest on an island parish in the great lake of Nicaragua. Since then, some 50,000 people have died, a dictatorship has been overthrown, and today Cardenal is a Minister of State in the revolutionary government. Everyman returns to Nicaragua to discover what the practical experience of revolution has meant for this priest, and for the people in whose name the revolution was carried out.
