Music unites, liberates, and heals. Even in times of repression, authoritarianism, and exile, art survives. Monarca is proof of that. This documentary is a collective act of artistic resistance led by Nicaraguan musicians, filmmakers, puppeteers, and photographers exiled in Costa Rica. It is a sonic cry of memory and community, a story that needs your support to be completed.
