The US and Honduras
Honduras after the 2009 coup becomes the frame for this short investigation into American foreign aid. The film asks a direct question: is Washington funding a police force and military tied to a campaign of extrajudicial killings? Reporters and local witnesses lay out accounts of disappearances and killings attributed to security forces that receive US training and equipment, while officials and analysts weigh in on what oversight, if any, exists over how that money gets used. The film moves between interviews and footage from Honduran streets and communities affected by the violence, tracing the gap between stated US policy on human rights and the conduct of the forces it bankrolls. It does not resolve the question so much as document the evidence on both sides, leaving the viewer with a clear picture of the stakes: American tax dollars, a fragile Central American state, and a body count that keeps rising.
