57:43Now PlayingIn 1979 a socialist revolution under the leadership of the New Jewel Movement took power in Grenada. For the next four years, the Caribbean island nation engaged in a daring experiment of popular sovereignty and democracy, tackling questions of education, inequality, and hunger head-on. But the revolution didn't last. Weakened by infighting and eventually deposed by a US military invasion, the Grenadian Revolution met its end in 1983. Some 40 years later, former Press Secretary Don Rojas speaks with The Real News Board Member Bill Fletcher on the course of the Grenadian Revolution—its triumphs, challenges, and eventual fall.
