Task Force students film an interview in El Salvador.
The students in the 2015 Task Force “Promoting Human Rights and Healing in the Wake of Civil War” spent ten days in El Salvador working with Asociación Pro-Búsqueda and exploring their topic from the perspective of the people in that country. They conducted original research, revealing details of two Civil War-era massacres in El Salvador. These efforts were featured in local media as well as in El Salvador, where human rights organizations are helping to reunite families of an estimated 2,500 Salvadoran children adopted into American families during the war years. They documented two massacres and two short films that seek to help locate El Salvador’s “disappeared children.”
The students spoke about their work on King 5 News.
