Innocent Voices (2004)

Set in the mid 1980s during El Salvador's civil war, this film is seen through the eyes of an eleven-year-old boy. Chava lives in fear of being recruited either into the army or into the guerrilla forces. This gut-wrenching and powerful story depicts his life in a state torn apart by war, and the everyday ordeal of families facing appalling atrocities. However, there is humour and romance amidst the tragedy and the film is ultimately a moving celebration of the human spirit.
