Synopsis
Martin Sheen narrates this examination of the civil war that wracked El Salvador in the 1980s and early '90s. The focus: the 1989 murder of six Jesuit priests, their housekeeper and her daughter. The killings were linked to death squads. U.S. and Salvadoran political figures are interviewed, as are Jesuits and ordinary Salvadoran citizens. Readings are by Edward James Olmos and Rosie Perez.
