“It's not every day that a TV series gets produced in a small, Central American country like Nicaragua, which is still reeling from the effects of decades of underdevelopment, corruption and civil war. It's not every day that Spanish-language television tackles such issues as homophobia, AIDS and violence against women. “Sexto Sentido” (Sixth Sense), remarkable in being the first telenovela (soap opera) ever to be made by, about and for Nicaraguans, is even more extraordinary still for dealing with these very subjects.”
— Robert Rosenberg, Miami Gay and Lesbian Film Festival
