Iraq Vet Logan Laituri endorses "Return to El Salvador"

"In the case of El Salvador, we see but a microcosm of a global reality in which our government trains and trades in arms, recklessly disregarding consideration for the repercussions. Seeing Salvadoran troops with US military apparel and equipment stands as a grave testament to our own misguided assumptions about the ultimate futility of force. I only know this because I trained, fought, and even dressed as they did.
In Return to El Salvador, we are reminded of the incredible breadth of the human character; from unimaginable acts of violence and insatiable greed to awe-inspiring acts of hope, faith and love. May these incredible stories be a constant reminder of all that we are capable of, for better and for worse. In them, may we remember our own moral character and never overlook the responsibility to which we are both individually and collectively called."

"Jamie Moffett is a master storyteller, and he tells some of the most important stories never told. This one is about El Salvador... and it's not just about a little country in Latin America. It is about a struggle that is a mirror back to the rest of the world. It's about neighbors here in the US who we meet every day and don't know their story. It's about understanding ourselves a little better by listening to the pain others. It is about letting the wounds of history teach us lessons that could shape the future."

"In the run up to war nobody takes time to listen to the hearts of the kids who will have to fight. No one bothers to ask the moms if they want to send their sons to kill the sons of other moms. The sorrowful consequences of war outlive us all. Enough already! The killing must stop. Don't just watch, work for peace."

"Moffett’s latest film is a visceral example of how the consequences of U.S. arms sales and its political intervention in another country’s war do not end when peace accords are signed. The ramifications endure for generations. is a must-see for anyone who cares or is curious about the destructive influence peddled by Washington and Wall Street."
