"Return to El Salvador is a beautiful testimony to the struggle of the Salvadoran people and to the triumph of hope over fear. Those who couldn’t be there on March 15, 2009 to celebrate the victory of the FMLN will get to feel some of the joy that swept the country that night, coupled with the memories of all of the compañeros and compañeras who gave their lives to the struggle for liberation. Most powerful are the voices of Salvadorans, both in El Salvador and those now living in the United States, who never stopped organizing for social and economic justice in their country, despite the terror of witnessing atrocities committed against them, their families and their communities by the Salvadoran military with the support of the United States. This film is an important call for all of us, Salvadorans and solidarity allies alike, to continue to organize against U.S. foreign and economic policy that has created the poverty, injustice and violence that the Salvadoran people are fighting to turn around and accompany them in their new stage of struggle."

Alexis Stoumbelis is the Executive Director of CISPES: the Committee In Solidarity With the People of El Salvador.
