Summary
During the early 1970s, hundreds of peasants in a remote, backward region of El Salvador decided to emulate the early Christian communities. Inspired by Liberation Theology, they worked the land together, studied the Bible, and strove to improve their impoverished communities. Their number grew into the thousands. By 1980, the National Guard staged scorched earth operations to rid the area of these same people. This film explores these events through the narratives of their surviving witnesses.
