Editing Progresses

LUND--The full-length documentary film, "News From El Salvador (The Children of the Mangroves) is almost half-finished. The film is being produced on a grant from SARA (Sharing America's Resources Abroad) with whom I have been working for over two years. It details on the current state of affairs for society and the situation of child-workers in El Salvador today and focuses on the currileros, children who dig clams (currilos) from the coastal mangrove jungles around the towns of El Espino and Arcos del Espino. I finished principal photography last June and July during a month in that country. Since that time I moved to Sweden and have been editing the film. This coming June and July I will travel to Romania and The Ukraine to produce a second film about SARA's relief projects in Eastern Europe.
