Short Circuit

About This Movie

Short Circuit (1985) isn't your typical documentary, it's more like a chilling glimpse into the heart of darkness within El Salvador. The atmosphere is heavy, marked by the stark realities of war and the unsettling insights from Colonel Roberto Santivanez. His perspective adds a layer of complexity and authenticity that's hard to find in other works. The pacing is deliberate, letting you absorb the weight of each revelation. There's a rawness to the interviews that feels real, not sugar-coated. It’s distinct for its unflinching look at the moral ambiguities of state violence, making it a thought-provoking watch for anyone interested in political history and the human condition.
