Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox film Harvest of Peace is a 1985 American short documentary film directed by Robbie Leppzer. The film, shot during the height of the US-backed Contra war in Nicaragua, follows a group of 150 Americans who spend two weeks in a village in northern Nicaragua, where they participate in a cotton harvest.[1][2]

Harvest of Peace premiered at the Telluride Film Festival (TFF) in September 1985, where it screened on a double bill with another documentary, Nicaragua Was Our Home, directed by Lee Shapiro.[3] Harvest of Peace received a theatrical release in November 1985.[2]

Production

Harvest of Peace was conceived, directed, and edited by Robbie Leppzer.[2] Production on the film began in the autumn of 1984, which was shot over a two-week period in Nicaragua.[2] Following filming, Leppzer returned to his home in Leverett, Massachusetts, where he spent nine months on audio editing and fundraising for the film.[2] Post-production continued for an additional five months, which Leppzer spent as "a prisoner to his editing table."[2] The film ultimately cost $20,000 to complete, and was financed by individual supporters as well as grants from small private foundations.[2]

Reception

Reviewing the film following its TFF premiere, Catharine Rambeau of the Detroit Free Press referred to both it and Nicaragua Was Our Home as "classic knee-jerk-liberal graduate theses. Politics deserves better."[3]
