"The World Stopped Watching" is a sequel to the award winning "The World Is Watching", a cinema verit look at foreign news coverage of a climactic moment in the US-financed Contra war against Nicaragua's revolutionary government. Fourteen years later, filmmakers Peter Raymont and Harold Croks return to Nicaragua with two American journalists who were in the original film - and a Canadian journalist from La Presse - to discover what became of the first revolution to be conducted in the glare of the world media. They question the role and responsibility of journalists and their employers who first put Nicaragua under the microscope, and then rished off to the next hot spot.
