I heard that Danny Ortega is just another autocrat in Nicaragua. No shock there.

But the 2nd segment was inspiring. About an architect making real change in the world. Buildings with a functional aesthetic, that uses local materials built by local populations. Pretty awesome segment. And I don't say that word much with mainstream media productions.

To keep power now, he's a banana republican.
