WHEN WE WERE YOUNG / THERE WAS A WAR
A film by Patricia Goudvis and Alice Stone
Through poignant personal stories of Central American adults revisiting their wartime childhoods, WHEN WE WERE YOUNG / THERE WAS A WAR is a visually stunning, immersive experience that enlightens and engages students as they learn about the armed conflicts and their aftermaths in El Salvador and Guatemala. Captivating videos present the characters as both teens and adults, reflecting on their childhoods as well as their current lives. Supporting text and photos explore the continuing connections between the history and people of the US and Central America.
“Extraordinary new student-friendly website on Central America … powerful stories … an invaluable resource.” – Teaching for Change
