Metzis story

Metzi is juggling two educations a weekend job in a hotel and the normal social life you expect from a nineteen year old. She is a great example of the young educated middle class Nicaraguan. Ambitious and versatile.  When I ask her who will get her vote in the coming election she hesitates. -- I'm probably not going to vote.. she says. When choosing between the current Sandinista regime and the opposition she says -- A vote for the opposition is not a vote for the opposite party but merely a vote against Daniel. In Nicaragua you do not vote for something, you vote against the other alternative. There are more effective ways to make a change in society then voting.

This is a short interview with Metzi from the balcony of her family's house in Managua, Nicaragua.
