El Salvador: Another Vietnam, examines the beginnings of the Civil War in El Salvador, which spanned from 1980 to 1992, in light of the Reagan administration's decision to "draw the line" against communism in Central America. Archival material offers an overview of U.S. military and economic policy in Central America since 1948. Released in 1981, El Salvador: Another Vietnam was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Feature Documentary.
