‘It’s a difficult task being a survivor,' says one of the inhabitants of Cinquera, a tiny town in El Salvador.
‘It’s a difficult task being a survivor,' says one of the inhabitants of Cinquera, a tiny town in El Salvador. He really knows what he’s talking about. Cinquera suffered a terrible fate during the country’s 12-year civil war: It was bombed and destroyed, and most of its inhabitants were killed. But in a moving example of their love of life, at the end of the conflict the survivors returned to their town, rebuilt their homes and moved on, resurrecting the near-dead town. In her first feature documentary, director Tatiana Huezo follows the remarkable story of Cinquera. She does not recreate the horror but counterpoints the quiet scenes of today’s life with the epic and sometimes terrible tales of the survivors.
