I saw the movie and hated it, first it does not represent El Salvador at all, they didn't even change the Mexican license plates of the buses to make it look at least in that part as if it were El Salvador. The movie shows ONLY one side of the story, I lived the war too and lived the suffering under the guerrilla leaded by the FMLN. The army did recruit men, but over 18, I never in my whole life saw an army soldier that was a boy, but I did see terrorist guerrilla of no more than 8 or 10 years old holding weapons almost their height, drugged and committing crimes that the outside world cannot imagine. I suffered the other side of the story which is not told in the movie, and I'm glad it was not nominated for the academy awards. It is sensationalist and does not tell even half of the truth of the conflict in El Salvador. Hopefully it will not make it too far as North Americans tend to believe what it is presented to them in movies, this is misleading and false.
