San Salvador. 1991. During the presidential election campaign, a woman and her child squat between TV cameras and the Salvadorean National Police as they attempt to thwart an anti-ARENA demonstration of students and labor unionists along Roosevelt Avenue. ARENA is El Salvador’s most right wing party. An airforce helicopter hoovers overhead. A year later the peace accords were signed in Mexico City ending 12 years of civil war. The media are often targeted by government forces. Many newspaper, TV and radio offices had been targeted throughout the wars in Central America for reporting anti-government news.
