Voces Inocentes is a movie that represents a real story about El Salvador. The director of this film is Luis Mandoki and the writers are Luis Mandoki and Oscar Orlando Torres. The Principal Characters are Carlos Padilla “Chavita,” Leonor Valera “Keila,” and others. The movie is rated R because of the contained violence and some language that is not appropriate.
Voces Inocentes has a drama moral and political issue. This film reflects some of the problems during the civil war in El Salvador. During the film we can see the dramatic events for the children and their parents, how the children were exposed to be part of the army at early ages. Most of the children were part of the army at the age 12, but when the army had less soldiers they would take children at the ages of eleven, and teen–years- old. In Voces Inocentes Chava is the representation of lot children in the Salvador and how life was difficult there. We can see in the movie the hard times that Chavita’s family and other families had. These families lived in poor areas and they had houses made of sheet and wood. “Chavita” tried to help his mother and stared to work in a bus. His job was say, “To the town, al centro, al centro”. The money he made was not enough to help his mother. Chavita also had an uncle who was part of the enemies of the army. Chavita’s uncle was Tio Beto; Tio Beto gave Chavita a radio and in the radio he could listen to a song called “Casas de Carton” means Houses of cardboard. This film has all kinds of emotions. I recommend this story for everybody, even though some critics of this film say that it is not a good representation of a conflict between the army and the guerrilla civil during the 1980s. This civil war had a long process, it lasted 12 years approximately, but every story has a truth in it even if it is a myth.
