based on a true story of screenwriter oscar torres, this film is a very prolific and realistic. its setting is very catchy. War. it is about an eleven year old boy who becomes the man of the house after their father abandoned them for the war.

Innocent Voices - Innocent Voices, directed by Luis Madoki, provides a harrowing glimpse of the civil war that gripped El Salvador in the 80s. Eleven-year-old Chava (Carlos Padilla) lives in a makeshift village with his mother Kella (Leonor Varela) and two siblings. Each night gun fire rips more holes in their cardboard walls. But soon, Chava will be 12, the age at which boys are conscripted into the brutal Government army. This is a deeply moving portrait of courage amid hopelessness, and innocence amid evil.
It portrays the harsh reality brought about by war in the eyes and lives of the young ones. The film is based on the childhood experiences of its screenwriter, Oscar Torres. I guessed that is why its so convincingly real and emotionally penetrating.
