Manuel A. Constanza from El Salvador Last Sunday, I went to see a movie about the revolution in Chile. The movie, was about an American businessman who went to Chile to look for his son. The American Embassy protected the American citizens in that country, but the businessman's son was missing. The United States' Intelligence Service in Chile knew the businessman's son was dead, but they didn't want to tell him because it was a top secret. I remember what happened in my country El Salvador. In the 80's, to be young was a crime or offense against the government. It was an offense only to be young or not to be in agreement with the gobernors. I remember how in the night, the soldiers took the doors or simply broke down the doors and pulled out the young people, and one or two weeks later the dead bodies appeared and nobody said anything because they didn't want to be killed. I
remembered all this when I went to see that movie
last Saturday. More stories:
