Close-ups of political posters on the Nicaraguan War and Reagan, edited with passersby at the Government Center in Boston, a mother carrying her baby in a front baby carrier and protectively supporting his head, linked with posters showing women lying on the ground, protecting their children from gunfire in a street, or parents lifting a stroller above their heads while going down narrow stairs, in connection with a poster of four united arms in a cross, accompanied by the slogan “The people will do it” and a television crew which attracted a group of children.
