US (1985): Documentary

An evocative vision of a nation and its tragic civil conflict, this 75-minute documentary is the record of four filmmakers who secretly entered El Salvador, marched with a guerrilla column across the troubled country, and followed it into combat against government forces in San Salvador. The civil war is given a personal dimension as we meet the insurgents and their supporters -- a guerrilla commander, a 12-year-old messenger, a peasant family victimized by right wing death squads, and Charlie Clements, an American doctor working with the rebels. Narrated by Martin Sheen; directed by Frank Christopher. (First Run Icarus Films)
