SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador, 16 September 2014 — Met this morning with reporters from Diario El Mundo newspaper and showed them my film, “The Gangs,” that I made last year in Guatemala. Both countries suffer from the presence of urban gangs, so the journalists here could relate to the piece.
I’m here this week on a State Department assignment, the theme of which is “The Role of Journalism in a Democratic Society.”
This is the first time I’ve been here in 25 years. So much has changed. But not much has changed.
