Devils Don T Dream!

Jacobo Arbenz led the revolt against the military dictatorship in 1944. The revolution ended the time of dictatorship which had held the country in its grip since colonial times. In 1950 Arbenz was elected President. He was not a member of any party, who didnt issue any manifestos. But he began to fulfill his election promises: farmers got their own land. In September 1954, Arbenz, the President of Guatemala, is betrayed by foreign powers and overthrown (by the CIA). Arbenz is declared a traitor and chased out of the country.
