Nicaragua : After Hurricane Mitch
16 minutes, 2002
Ref: 28

A human disaster that has turned into a political storm. It was one of the worst natural disasters the world has seen in many years - 25,000 dead and millions left homeless. We visit Nicaragua to see the human tragedy left behind by Hurricane Mitch and see the political storm that has erupted since. We speak with former president Daniel Ortega who has accused the government of inactivity and with his critics who accuse him of crippling recovery efforts.
