| It's
not every day that a TV series gets produced in a small, Central American
country like Nicaragua, which is still reeling from the effects of decades
of underdevelopment, corruption and civil war. It's not every day that Spanish-language
television tackles such issues as homophobia, AIDS and violence against
women. Sexto Sentido (Sixth Sense), remarkable in being the
first telenovela (soap opera) ever to be made by, about and for Nicaraguans,
is even more extraordinary still for dealing with these very subjects. Robert Rosenberg, Miami Gay and Lesbian Film Festival
