Forty years after the Sandinista revolution, THE MINUSCULES accompanies the evolution of a civic struggle in Nicaragua, initiated by the peasants’ movement in 2013 against the construction project of the Interoceanic Grand Canal that would cut the country in half, at the feet of the volcano, through forests, indigenous land and farmland. In a reaction against multiple abuses of power, different social movements converge – the peasants’ movement, the students’ movement, the feminists, the environmentalists, human rights activists, the LGBTQ+ movement. In April 2018, the insurrection explodes. The power calls the opponents the Minuscules, who he tries to crush by violent repression. This is the struggle of Elba, headmistress of a rural school and environmental activist, Doña Chica, from the peasants’ anti-canal movement, Gaby, from the student’s movement, Elyla, queer activist and performer – from the border of the trench to exile. What does the resistance create?
