Overview
The film deals with the social issues of literacy, women empowerment and development and comments on the importance of literacy in the Indian villages, which is important for the progress of the country. In the film, Madhukar and Jaggu are Hitler-like tyrants who rule over a small community with an iron hand. They prefer to keep the inhabitants illiterate, so that they can continue to oppress and abuse them over time. But one young lad, Ramu, educates himself secretly with the help of the local school-master, Srikanth. Years later, Ramu has grown up and is now a formidable force to reckon with. Madhukar and Jaggu see him as a threat and soon spin a web of lies and deceit around him, leaving him with no alternative except to retreat, leaving the poor villagers once again at their mercy of their oppressors.

Progressive
Primary
The film explicitly critiques US covert intervention in Nicaragua and its support for the Contras, advocating for non-intervention and national sovereignty, which aligns with a progressive, anti-imperialist ideology.
This documentary naturally features diverse individuals from Nicaragua alongside American officials, reflecting the real-world subjects of the film. The narrative is expected to critically examine the actions of traditional power structures, specifically the US government and its predominantly white male leadership involved in the covert war.
Secondary
The film, a documentary critical of US intervention and the Contras, portrays Christianity primarily through its problematic use by the US-backed Contras to justify violence and by conservative church elements opposing social justice. The narrative exposes the hypocrisy and oppressive aspects of these religious claims and institutions within the context of the war.
This documentary, focusing on the geopolitical conflict in Nicaragua, does not present any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative is centered on political and military events, with no elements related to queer identity or experiences.
The film 'Trisulam' (1983) does not include any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Consequently, there is no portrayal to evaluate, resulting in a net impact of N/A.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
As a documentary, "Target Nicaragua: Inside a Covert War" focuses on real individuals and historical events. The concept of a "gender swap," which applies to fictional characters or historical figures reimagined in adaptations, does not apply to the factual portrayal of real people in a documentary.
This film is a 1983 documentary about a covert war. Documentaries feature real people and events, not fictional characters adapted from source material or historical figures portrayed by actors in a way that would constitute a race swap.
