Uno, la historia de un gol
In the early 1980s, at the beginning of what would become a 12-year-long civil war, El Salvador's talented football team was one national institution upon which both the left and the right could agree. When the team pulled off a stunning 1-0 upset against Mexico and qualified to compete in the 1982 World Cup, it was a high point for the tiny country's national pride. Unfortunately, the team's Cinderella story devolved into a nightmarish farce.

This trip results in a look, perhaps hopeful, about a recent moment of social change and transformation whose essence was reflected in what happened around the return of the Peruvian Selection to the World Cup after 36 years of failures.
