I also saw this movie and can testify that it's 90% accurate regarding how the civil war really was. But it's still a left-wing flick, it tilts that way. For instance, it showed us the brutality of the right-wing military but... Full review

Poorly informed viewers outside Mexico are liable to take Mandoki's undisguised partisan account as gospel, when instead, its sloppy handling of documentary materials is far from anything that can be termed journalistic.

In the most wrenching scene from Luis Mandoki's film "Innocent Voices," Salvadoran army troops storm into a school in the heart of an impoverished rural village, bark out a list of names and forcibly conscript any boy over 12 into the military.
