Description

Enemies of War, a documentary film produced by Esther Cassidy, examines the murders of six Jesuit priests in El Salvador and the subsequent political and social ramifications as seen through the eyes of a Salvadoran family, a United States congressman, an ex-ambassador and an American priest. From 1981 to 1996 James McGovern was a senior staff member for U.S. Representative Joe Moakley. In 1990, Moakley appointed him to lead a House task force investigating the 1989 murder of six Jesuit priests and two women in El Salvador by the Atlácatl Battalion, working with Salvadoran activist Leonel Gómez Vides.
