In the lead up to the upcoming film, “The Most Beautiful Deaths in the World”, the LMC spends the hour with Ana Patricia Rodriguez and Hugo Najera on how the film tells the story of Washington’s Salvadoran community through art, injustice, and perseverance.
Ana Patricia Rodriguez is an Associate Professor of U.S. Latina/o and Central American Literatures & the School of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures @ the University of Maryland in College Park.
Hugo Najera is a member of the Yellow House Collective as well as a co-producer and music composer for the film.
Against a military dictatorship. Against US propaganda. Against all odds. On this episode, the LMC speaks with freelance journalist Michael Fox to discuss the amazing story of Radio Venceremos and how it became a beacon of independent journalism during El Salvador’s civil war in the 80s.
Michael Fox is also the host and producer of the podcast docuseries “Brazil on Fire” and “Under the Shadow.”
While El Salvador’s men’s national soccer team continue to produce poor results on the field and make poor decisions off it, the women’s program has quietly become the best team in the country. So the LMC speaks with Nelson Rauda, the editor for El Faro, about the continued growth challenges, and development of women’s futbol in El Salvador.
