<div><strong><em>"</em></strong><em>In 1980, the civil war in El Salvador hurled a human bomb in Washington’s direction. We were the pieces of Spanish-speaking shrapnel flying all over... And what do you do when you’re house is on fire? You run. So we ran and we landed here. And Washington has been stuck with the pupusa ever since." </em>–Quique Aviles

</div>
<div><strong>about the film</strong>
</div>
<div>since 1980 – the beginning of the mass exodus fueled by the US-backed war – to the present, hundreds of thousands of people from El Salvador have made the Washington DC region their home. las muertes más bellas del mundo tells the story of their struggles and humanity through the eyes of artists of the Salvadorean diaspora. at the corner of 15th and Irving Streets in NW DC, these artists have made art out of war and gave birth to a uniquely Salvadorean-Wachintonian identity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>featured artists</strong>
</div>
<div>the film focuses on the stories and artistic work - original music, poetry, imagery - of musicians Machetres, Lilo Gonzalez, and Ivan Navas; poet Quique Aviles; Flamenco Dancer and Choreographer Edwin Aparicio; and photographer Muriel Hasbun, with original beats by Hugo Najera (DJ Mezkla).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>produced by the yellow house collective</strong>
</div>
<div>Quique Aviles, Hilary Binder-Aviles, Delia Beristain Noriega, Miguel Castro Luna, Carolina Fuentes, Jo Jovel, Camilo Montoya. Filmmakers: Mark Perkins, Ellie Walton, and Magee McIlvaine. Advisors-Scholars: Jose Centeno Melendez, Olivia Cadaval, and Ana Patricia Rodriguez.

</div>
<div><strong>why this film, why now</strong>
</div>
<div>the Washington DC Region is home to the largest Salvadorean community in the US outside of California and is the only metropolitan area where the majority of Latinos are Salvadorean. this history is largely untold, but that is changing with La Manplesa, our sister documentary that tells the story of the 1991 uprising in Mt. Pleasant after the shooting of an unarmed Salvadoran man. las muertes más bellas del mundo contributes another piece of the Salvadorean-Wachintonian story and how we have contributed to the city’s artistic and cultural scene.
</div>
