Description
A crowd of men and women participate in a procession en route to a cemetery where they will bury a group of young men murdered by Contras. In the middle of the image there is a group of young women wearing white shirts and blue denim pants or skirts. The one on the far left is holding a corner of the blue-and-white flag of Nicaragua. The two young women in the middle are each holding a portrait of two of the slain young men. The two on the far right are each holding a corner of the black-and-red flag of the Sandinista National Liberation Front.
