"Las Muertes Más Bellas del Mundo" (The Most Beautiful Deaths in the World) is a documentary film that tells the story of the Salvadoran diaspora in Washington, D.C. through the eyes of Salvadoran artists who make art out of war. The film follows a poet’s journey to find acceptance and healing through his writing, interweaving a collection of artist portraits – a photographer, a dancer and musicians – with a wider collective of voices and archival images to tell a compelling and intimate narrative of a community resolving trauma and finding identity, salvation, and joy.
