"Voces Inocentes" is a good movie, it does portray the situation the kids had to live at that time. It is true that as soon as they turned 12 they had to go to the military or join the guerrilla. One of my brothers was constantly recruited by the military but we "knew people" and my mom was able to get him out, thank god.
Also the shootings between la guerrilla and los soldados were something that would happen all the time, coming out of your house and see dead bodies was common.
I only saw it once in 89 when the guerrilla had an ofensiva, i used to go to a catholic school where the nuns used to hide guerrilleros, and take care of the wounded ones. I remember how we used to know where they were hidding. Those times were sad. But I think now it's more depressing to see how the people that before were "fighting" for the poor, are now just doing the same, taking advantage of their positions and enjoying corruption at its best.
So 10 years of civil war and more than 10,000 people dead for NOTHING.

THIS IS THE REASON MY FAMILY LEFT EL SALVADOR, my grandfathers farm got taken over by los guerrieros it was bad i mean i lost so many family memembers its sad! I remember driving by and seeing ppl just dead on the side of the road or crosses everywhere so many ppl died it was sad. But civil war is still going on in some countries which is really sad but i havent read much to imput i just know what i remember and what my family tells me.

UN AMIGO ME PRESTO UNA PELICULA ENTITULADA " VOCES INOCENTES"
IT SPEAKS ABOUT THE SALVADOREAN CIVIL WAR.

I DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE WAR, EXCEPT FOR WHAT MY UNCLES AND SOME SALVADOREN~O FRIENDS HAVE TOLD ME. THE MOVIE SPEAKS ABOUT THE FMLN AND THE ARMY RECRUTING AND THE BATTLES THAT TOOK PLACE. I KNOW THIS IS A TOUCHY TOPIC , BUT CAN SOMEONE EDUCATE ME ABIT SO I CAN HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THE WAR WAS ABOUT.

I saw the movie like 2 months ago.....very sad....when you see those kids...I don't really know how close it's to the reality but to see those kids on that situation is very sad.

what you saw is reality... or it was. not sure if the situation is still similar....but poverty and need makes you do what you normaly wouldn't. Even if it means letting the powerful take advantage of you.
