You can also help our cause by educating yourself about El Salvador’s civil war (1980–1992). 

Movies for adults

• Romero with Raul Julia – accurate according to those who lived through the war.
• Innocent Voices – received many awards from film festivals; the war as seen through the eyes of an eleven-year-boy and his family.
