Les re-enviamos la invitación que Barrio Nuevo hace a toda la comunidad latinoamericana y canadiense a apoyar, presenciar y divulgar el estreno mundial del documental Return to El Salvador.
El documentalista radicado en Filadelfia Jamie Moffett presenta su nueva producción Return to El Salvador.
Return to El Salvador muestra las secuelas de los 12 años de la guerra civil salvadoreña así como la interacción entre el pueblo salvadoreño y la política de los EE.UU. y las políticas que influyen directamente en el país centroamericano. Moffett entrevista al ex embajador de EE.UU. en El Salvador, Robert White
El documental también describe la desaparición del prominente activista minero Marcelo Rivera. “Estoy ansioso de compartir la historia de la tortura y muerte de Marcelo Rivera y su relación con las empresas mineras canadienses ", dice Moffett."La historia con la que me encontré cambió mi vida. Es de importancia crítica que los canadienses hagan un balance de lo que las empresas que usan su bandera están haciendo y la forma en que esto afecta la manera en que los canadienses son percibidos en todo el mundo" .
Lo que este documental deja en claro es que la reconstrucción no ha concluido, y que el espectro de los escuadrones de la muerte salvadoreños aún perdura.
Narrado por Martin Sheen, este excelente trabajo ha sido endorsado por el ganador del Premio Nobel de la Paz el arzobispo Desmond Tutu.
Return to El Salvador es un documental sobre la inmigración, política exterior de EE.UU. Y SOBRE EL MISTERIOSO ASESINATO CORPORATIVO DEL ACTIVISTA MINERO MARCELO RIVERA.

ABOUT THE DOCUMENTARY:
Return to El Salvador documents the aftermath of a 12 year civil war and the interplay between the Salvadoran people and the US politics and policies that directly influence the Central American country.
Narrated by Martin Sheen, the film features interviews by former US ambassador to El Salvador Robert White, and has been endorsed by Nobel Peace Prize winner Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
The film also outlines the disappearance of prominent mining activist Marcelo Rivera. While in El Salvador shooting principal photography, Moffett and his crew stumbled upon the disappearance of Rivera - he had been "disappeared" days prior to the filming of the documentary. Investigating further, our crew found more and more signs in this mysterious disappearance pointing towards the Vancouver-based Pacific Rim Mining Company. Eventually, as the film goes on to tell, Rivera's body was found - not by police, who had no information, but by his friends.
"I'm eager to share the story of the torture and death of Marcelo Rivera as it relates to Canadian mining corporations," says Moffett. "The story I came across changed my life. It's critically important that Canadians take stock of what corporations that fly the Canadian flag are doing and the way this affects how Canadians are perceived worldwide." For this reason, the Toronto international debut is vital to this release.
What Return to El Salvador makes clear is that the rebuilding is not over, and that the spectre of Salvadoran death squads still lingers.
Moffett will be in Ottawa the morning of June 15th from 7:30 to 9:00 am at Center Block House of Commons to present the film to Canadian Parliament at the behest of MP John McKay. Return to El Salvador was requested by McKay because he brought forth Bill C-300, a corporate accountability bill, to Canadian Parliament and is invested in our film's message.
"Return to El Salvador is a moving documentary which highlights the unwavering strength of the El Salvadorian people through immense hardships," says McKay. "Chronicling the country’s difficult past, Jamie Moffett highlights the key issues that exist in the country today. His portrayal of the issues this country faces, particularly those related to matters of foreign interference demonstrate the importance of our own countries actions, on those living in this small country."
