In Mejicanos, a working-class district of San Salvador, Father Antonio Lopez Tercero walks streets marked with gang graffiti and points out where the violence has left its scars. El Salvador's capital, a city of around two million people, sees between 10 and 15 murders a day, at least half of them gang-related, and almost none of the killers are ever caught. Known locally as Padre Tono, he is one of the few willing to work directly with gang members, treating them as products of a broken society rather than simply criminals. "Killing someone is like killing a chicken," he says of the impunity that surrounds the violence. The film follows him on his rounds, meeting people whose lives the gangs have upended: Giovanni, a former gang leader expecting his first child and trying to leave that life behind, and Sonia, still waiting for justice after her son was murdered. Their stories sit alongside the priest's daily work of trying to keep others from crossing the same line.
