In the navy of Nicaragua - vpro Metropolis 2009

Stef visits the Nicaraguan navy and shows how the young men in one of the elite units there are being squeezed till they are empty, both physically and mentally. vpro Metropolis was a video project by Dutch broadcast organisation vpro, that ran from 2008 to 2015. Metropolis is made by a global collective of young filmmakers and TV producers, reporting on remarkable stories from their own country/city. We made a trip around the globe on one single issue: from local beauty ideals to Elvis impersonators, to what's it like being gay, or an outcast or a dog in different cultures.
