Activist/Author Shane Claiborne endorses "Return to El Salvador"
Submitted by Jamie on Thu, 03/04/2010
"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."

Interesting production note: Sheen completed narration for Return to El Salvador the day before rehearsals began for this play. One of the hardest working men in show business or social justice.

A public commemoration of their work, which marked the start of 2010, was as much a statement of solidarity as one of mourning."
