-Susan Meiselas
'Molotov Man Sandinisti davanti alle mura del quartier generale della Guardia Nazionale di Esteli. Esteli, Nicaragua. 1979.

"Era il 17 luglio 1979, il giorno prima della fuga di Somoza dal Nicaragua, che fotografai il sandinista Pablo 'Bareta' Arauz, di cui all'epoca non conoscevo il nome. Stava lanciando una molotov contro una delle ultime guarnigioni della Guardia Nazionale rimaste.

All'epoca lavoravo con due macchine fotografiche, una caricata con pellicola in bianco e nero e l'altra a colori. Mi sono perso lo scatto in bianco e nero del gesto deciso di Bareta, ma l'ho immortalato a colori. L'immagine che divenne nota come "l'uomo Molotov" venne riprodotta e dipinta in tutto il Paese, prima di apparire sulle scatole di fiammiferi in commemorazione del primo anniversario della rivoluzione sandinista.

25 anni dopo, l'immagine di Bareta venne adottata come simbolo "ufficiale" della lotta contro la dittatura di Somoza. Nel 2018, l'immagine dell'"Uomo Molotoυ" è stata stampata sulle magliette indossate dagli studenti universitari che ora protestano contro il presidente sandinista Daniel Ortega.

Un'immagine può avere più vite, cosa che in questo caso né Pablo né io potevamo prevedere o controllare."
