In 1981, the Salvadoran Civil War reached Miriam's village of Santa Marta. After spending her days bringing tortillas to guerillas nearby, she watched soldiers encroach on her town. Military intimidation turned to violence, and violence turned to the threat of a massacre. Miriam and the women of her town began a forced exodus.



In 2021, Ernesto Saade visited Santa Marta to hear Miriam's story. The result is a graphic account of conflict, displacement, and the Red Stones massacre. This event, not known by all even within El Salvador, is one part of the scar its civil war left behind, a moment of tragedy and resilience.
