Mexico d/ Luis Mandoki
Lush, moving account of one family's struggle to survive in the war against the people of El Salvador sponsored by multi-nationals and the Reagan gang.
Based on one boy's true story the film was unabashedly pro-little guy propaganda but who in the world would have been rooting for the billionaires in New York and London who profited from this mass atrocity? In the 80's this was where the knife edge of capitalism was cutting. Get rid of the pesky people and the land and its resources are available for plunder.
Highly professional camera work and tech details raised the film above many of its well-meaning peers. A fine film with a strong message.
