Description
An old woman in a white dress is consoled by other grieving women, young and old. They are surrounded by other grieving women as they stand on a field ready to bury a group of young men murdered by Contras. A larger crowd stands in the background.
Una anciana en vestido blanco es consolada por otras mujeres, jóvenes y ancianas, que también lloran con muchas otras mujeres llorando a su alrededor. Ellas se encuentran en un campo listas para enterrar a un grupo de muchachos asesinados por contras. Al fondo de la imagen se observa una multitud de personas que asisten al entierro.
