Children of a rape

"Children of a rape" tells the story of El Salvador's two biggest gangs, mainly made up of teenagers.
The 18 and the MS13 have turned the country into a war zone, as they relentlessly clash over the control of the weapons and drugs markets.
In their words, actions and bodies tattooed with their gang's symbols is written the contemporary history of a country which was raped by the 12-year-long civil war, a war which might not yet be over...

@Trancymind i agree with you one hundred percent. I'm El Salvadoran too, and it pains me to see that my country is being over run by a bunch of criminals. El Salvador could be a really amazing place if it weren't for all that violence.

@eltiempo2020 I've lived in Los Angeles all my whole life so I think I know a bit of how it started my friend. You made some good points and agree with you to a certain extent. I lived in the ghettos of LA so I know how it starts and ends. You may have read your “facts” but unless you’ve lived it, you don’t really have an idea.

@styleovermoney I hate to say this but I think you are not well informed of the history of El Salvador. Everything that happens in any place in the world creates a chain reactions. The Salvadoreans gangs are a creation of many chain reactions, Cold War and Immigration of village people to urban places like LA. The war created a new breed a children that became callous of life. LA gangs took advantage of these children under the ignorant parents who had no idea what LA gangs were capable off.
