Based on the childhood of Oscar Orlando Torres, who co-wrote the screenplay with director Luis Mendoki (When a Man Loves 3 Women, Trapped), Innocent Voices is the story of Chavas, an 11-year old boy who lives in poverty-stricken 1980s El Salvador. Though his life is tough, he still attends school and happily plays with his buddies. But civil war rages in the mountains and many of Chavas‘ friends are press ganged into the government army. Chavas, forewarned by his uncle, a member of the peasant rebel army FMLN, avoids the draft but still finds his life affected by war.
With 300,000 children currently serving in armies throughout the world, Innocent Voices is a pertinent
