A comic inspired by the last 50 years of Nicaragua's history
Nicaragua Farm's point of departure is a concrete fact—common during revolutions in Central America—extrapolated into a universal reality: the way power corrupts the human soul. The story's protagonist is Rosario Murillo, who begins as a revolutionary and ends up carrying out her bloody mission together with her comrade Daniel Ortega. The climax: her definitive conversion when she makes a deal with the devil to gain power, sacrificing her relationship with her daughter when the latter confesses to having been raped by Ortega. A story told in a hyperlink format about power, ambition, corruption, freedom of expression, and the ways in which ordinary people always end up being the ones on the receiving end of suffering.
