Voces Inocentes

En un pueblo de la periferia de San Salvador, vive Chava (Carlos Padilla), un niño de 11 años, que se encuentra atrapado entre el ejército y la guerrilla salvadoreña. Cuando su padre abandona a la familia, en plena guerra civil, Chava pasa a ser “el hombre de la casa”. En esta época, el gobierno de El Salvador reclutaba niños de doce años. Así que a Chava sólo le queda un año de escuela antes de ser movilizado.

Innocent Voices

A young boy, in an effort to have a normal childhood in 1980’s El Salvador, is caught up in a dramatic fight for his life as he desperately tries to avoid the war which is raging all around him.
