DESCRIPTION:ANSWER Film Series “Voces Inocentes” (Innocent Voices)  With a report 
 and discussion on the history of U.S. involvement in El Salvador by an 
 activist from the FMLN and ANSWER Coalition  More than 300,000 children 
 presently serve in armies in over 40 countries.   Based on the true story 
 of screenwriter Oscar Torres's embattled childhood, Luis Mandoki's Innocent 
 Voices is the poignant tale of Chava (Carlos Padilla), an eleven-year-old 
 boy who suddenly becomes the "man of the house" after his father abandons 
 the family in the middle of a civil war.  In El Salvador in the 1980s, the 
 government's armed forces are already recruiting twelve year olds, rousting 
 them out of their classes at the local middle school. If he is lucky, Chava 
 has just one year of innocence left, one year before he, too, will be 
 conscripted to fight the government's battle against the peasant rebels of 
 the FMLN. Chava's life becomes a game of survival, not only from the 
 bullets of the escalating war, but also from the dispiriting effects of 
 daily violence. As he hustles to find work to help his single mother pay 
 the bills, and experiences the pangs of first love for a beautiful 
 classmate, Chava's tiny home village becomes both playground and 
 battlefield. 2004, Mexico, Spanish with English subtitles, 120 min.  $5
