Screened at the Cork Film Festival 1989, The World Is Watching, revealed how media agendas distorted news reporting during the Sandinista / Contra period of the 1980s.

Now 14 years later, director Peter Raymont returns with The World Stopped Watching. Journalists featured in the original film return to Nicaragua to explore what has changed since 1988.

This film examines what happens when a media's spotlight leaves behind a country's people.
