El Salvador: Another Vietnam

El Salvador: Another Vietnam

1981 · 53 min · ★ 6.7 · Documentary

This political documentary illustrates the turbulent history of El Salvador from the 1920s-1970s, and the role of the U.S. government in that history. The most comprehensive film introduction to that country, examines the civil war there in light of the Reagan administration's decision to "draw the line" against "communist interference" in Central America. Archival material offers an overview of U.S. military and economic policy in Central America since 1948, while footage drawn from sources in the U.S., Mexico, and Europe provides extensive background to the current political and military situation.

Directed by Teté Vasconcellos · Written by Claudia Vianello
