In December of 1981, the town of El Mozote, El Salvador was razed to the ground; its one thousand inhabitants--men, women and children--were dead. This film tells the story they are unable to tell. The elements of this tragic story should not sound unfamiliar: protracted civil war; an elite, highly motivated military force facing guerrillas who blend into the populace; superpower intervention; and civilians who can't get out of the way, who have nowhere to go--nowhere because this is their home. --John Porter
