The Offended: Documentary screening and panel on the fight against impunity in El SalvadorMay 18
The Offended, Marcela Zamora’s award-winning documentary on the legacy of the internal armed conflict in El Salvador, screens at George Washington University. A panel discussion will immediately follow the film.
The film features Marcela Zamora’s father, Rubén Zamora, a key political leader and current Salvadoran Ambassador to the UN, who was captured and tortured during his country’s civil war. Bringing to light his story as well as those of others who suffered equally horrible torments in candid interviews, Marcela Zamora has created a documentary that gives voice to those stories many would prefer to keep silent.
The expert panel will feature Marcela Zamora, Director of The Offended; Congressman James McGovern (D-MA), U.S. House of Representatives; Ambassador Rubén Zamora, Permanent Representative of El Salvador to the UN; Alberto Brunori, Representative for Central America UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights; moderated by Geoff Thale, Program Director, WOLA.
