Selva Bajo Mi Piel, La

Libertad Arregui is a young reporter sent to El Salvador in the late eighties. Through her television chronicles along with her camera partner Íñigo Santolaya - a tragic and hilarious man marked by the Vietnam War - we witness the most fateful events that took place in that forgotten war in Central America: the assassination of Ellacuría and the Jesuits, the Sumpul river massacre, the Colomoncagua refugee camps and the first exhumations. "The Jungle Under my Skin" is also the journey of a son who wants to find his origins. And to settle the scores of life, he has a manuscript that was given to him by his mother before she died, together with the letters she exchanged with a German aid worker who collaborated with the Salvadoran guerrilla. It is inevitable to be moved by this narrative in which three voices are combined: that of a woman and her vicissitudes in loving outside the established norms, a threatened correspondent in the Basque Country during the conflictive “years of lead”, and that of a mother with difficulties.
