Carlos A Apr 25 Let me put this way, the theater was almost empty, but you have to be old school Salvadoran to feel for it. It was a good movie based on real events, the message at the was excellent. Specialy when FMLN came to govern, they totally deceived all those compaeros de lucha.

This was beautifully executed See more Srafael Apr 21 Me imagino que el presupuesto era muy bajo , como para agregar el resto the la historia, en esta se hace ver bien a la guerrilla pero como dice Jos al final todos son iguales las balas que disparan son iguales tambin , causan el mismo dolor y muerte I asta en eso son iguales See more Cesar Apr 19 I liked Everything about it great movie.
