In less than two minutes, the trailer accomplishes something extraordinary: it takes one of the most painful names in Latin American history—El Mozote, the site of a 1981 massacre in El Salvador where over 800 civilians, mostly children, were killed by the Atlacatl Battalion—and frames it through the gentlest, most haunting metaphor imaginable. Fireflies. The cinematography is lush and terrifying in equal measure. We see the rural Salvadoran landscape: mountains, coffee plants, dusk settling over adobe walls. Then come the flashes. Not gunfire, at least not at first. Tiny pinpricks of light flicker among the trees. Children laugh. A grandmother whispers a lullaby. Have you seen the Luciérnagas en El Mozote trailer
