Archbishop Desmond Tutu endorses "Return to El Salvador"

"Director Jamie Moffett and Return to El Salvador force us to acknowledge one of the most unjust class wars in the western hemisphere. It examines how the plantation system imposed by colonial powers on indigenous Salvadorans contributed to the poverty driven wars of the 1980s and the current day economic struggles that continue to beset a small densely populated nation. More importantly, perhaps, Return to El Salvador shows us how an era of hope is being perpetuated by life-giving elections, bold social advocacy, and the steady grassroots work of church leaders."

Archbishop Desmond Tutu, 1984 Nobel Peace Prize Winner
