To the people of El Salvador, Carlos Henríquez Consalvi will forever be Santiago, the voice of the left-wing guerrilla radio station, Radio Venceremos, that broadcast from behind enemy lines during the Salvadoran civil war in the 1980s. Santiago and the radio team dodge bombardments, machine gun fire and evade spies sent to the camp. The national army grows ever more brazen in their attempt to silence Radio Venceremos, and the rebel radio rises to the challenge with their very own Trojan horse plot.
