CHILDREN OF MEMORY (NIÑOS DE LA MEMORIA) <http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c842.shtml>

“
 an essential addition to the films about Central America in the 1980s. Its courageous characters and their urgent work to find all the missing children of El Salvador, are unforgettable.”
-Pamela Yates, Director of GRANITO: How to Nail a Dictator

NIÑOS DE LA MEMORIA (CHILDREN OF MEMORY) tells the story of the hundreds of children disappeared without a trace during the Salvadoran civil war. Taken away from the massacre sites by soldiers, some grew up in orphanages or were "sold" into adoption abroad. The film follows Margarita Zamora, an investigator with human rights organization Pro-Búsqueda as she traverses the Salvadoran countryside probing memory, swabbing DNA samples, and searching for disappeared children - including her own four siblings.
