Disturbing documentary made in the middle of the civil war in El Salvador in the 1980's. Your tax dollars at work. 75,000 people killed. The right-wing USA-backed ARENA party vs the FMLN party which fought for justice. [ more text here ]
An evocative vision of a nation and its tragic civil conflict, IN THE NAME OF THE PEOPLE 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.
