Novela Novela

A group of Nicaraguan feminists have fused human rights with popular culture to create Nicaragua's most popular telenovela (soap opera), Sexto Sentido. Novela, Novela examines how this ground-breaking series made it to broadcast, and how the creators, writers, actors and viewers grappled with controversial themes like domestic violence and homophobia in a country heavily influenced by Catholicism.
