The video discusses the El Mozote massacre in El Salvador, the largest in recent Latin American history, where 986 people, including 558 children, were killed by the military in 1981. The UN's Truth Commission attributed the massacre to the Atlácatl Battalion. Survivors faced displacement, and legal actions were taken by the Inter-American Court to support victims. Initially protected by an amnesty law, the massacre's impunity was challenged when the law was repealed in 2016, allowing for renewed pursuit of justice.
