To walk into the jungle-shrouded village of Cinquera, El Salvador, is to enter a world where ghosts walk, passing back and forth between the past and present. Even though it happened almost three decades ago, the village is still haunted by memories of the tragedy that occurred there. During the 1980–92 civil war, Cinquera was literally wiped off the map, disappearing temporarily from official charts in a conflict that resulted in 80,000 deaths, with tens of thousands more missing. Years later, survivors return to bury their dead and rebuild the community from the ashes. In an unobtrusive portrait of collective memory, we mingle with villagers as they recall horrifying ordeals, mutilation and torture. |
