El Salvador Cinema

Hey, we forgot to mention this in our last post, but think it is important for those who might want to do a little travelling with us from your DVD player. There are two fantastic movies about the civil war in El Savador that we highly recommend as they are well made and are histories that we all need to know.

1. Voces Inocentes (Innocent Voices). About the war from the perspective of children in El Salvador who are trying to avoid being recruited by the Army. Sapnish with English subtitles, we know it is at North American Video at Cameron Village for those in Raleigh.

2. Romero. About Salvadoran Archbishop Oscar Romero who was assassinated while giving mass in San Salvador due to his beliefs regarding liberation theology. Romero will likely play into our future blog posts as we plan to go to the Oscar Romero center in San Salvador (I hope this does not get jinxed by putting it on the blog beforehand as well).

Enjoy, let us know what you think.

I think you should be making your own documentary, that's what I think.
