Hojas de K. (Leaves of K.)
Through her personal, impressionistic, and dreamlike drawings, K., a 17-year-old girl, shares her memories of the violence imposed upon her by the government of Daniel Ortega – a former leader of the Sandinista Revolution (1979-1989) who mutated from a rebel fighting a corrupt government to a ruthless dictator whose iron fist now causes K. to risk her life to protest injustice.
Attraverso i suoi disegni personali, impressionistici e onirici, la diciassettenne K. racconta la violenza subita dal governo di Daniel Ortega, ex-leader della rivoluzione sandinista (1979-1989), un tempo ribelle armato contro un regime corrotto e oggi dittatore spietato, il cui pugno di ferro mette ora a rischio la vita di K., colpevole di avere protestato contro l’ingiustizia.
