documentary
Very fine treatment of the aftermath of the wholesale slaughter of indigenous people in El Salvadore in the 70's and 80's. The corporations and banksters wanted the land so they got rid of the pesky people who lived there in a systematic campaign of extermination. Reagan, that great hero of freedom led the cheerleading for the death squads, I mean the freedom fighters.
Beautifully photographed...this was as lovely a film as you will ever see. The story is told in the voices of the survivors, not talking on camera but in voiceover...a smart choice that works. Interspersed are scenes of life in the Central American jungles and this village.
Intelligent, lovingly produced tale of man at his worst. So it goes.
