The Ghost of War (1988)

In this political thriller, Reynaldo, a young dancer from a resort area on Nicaragua's Caribbean coast, deserts his career to join his nation's fight against the American-backed Contras. Wartime footage is interspersed with dance scenes, including one notable break-dancing demonstration at a discotheque. Despite its heavy political theme, this Spanish-language war drama also features a romantic subplot.
