A comprehensive introduction to El Salvador, the film 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.
