Civil War of El Salvador

The civil war in El Salvador was an armed conflict that devastated the Central American country for more than a decade (from 1980 to 1992). It is estimated that the war left a balance of 75,000 people dead and 15,000 missing. It was a period of intense armed confrontations and political violence that had a significant impact on Salvadoran society. In the war, the FAES (Armed Forces of El Salvador) and the FMLN (Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front) clashed. The war finally came to an end in 1992 with the signing of the Chapultepec Peace Accords in Mexico, promoted by the United Nations (UN).

 

Over the years, this conflict has been the subject of study and reflected in various films, which seek to explore the complexity of the events and the lasting effects in the country.

 

Through these films, among many others, cinema has attempted to capture the complexity and human reality surrounding the civil war in El Salvador. These audiovisual works allow us to reflect on the tragedies and challenges faced by the Salvadoran people during that period, as well as to understand the long-term impact of political violence on society. The appreciation of these films invites us to learn from history and encourage the search for peace and reconciliation in a world that still faces similar conflicts.
