The Producers

Mathew Charles and Juan Passarelli are co-founders of Guerrilla Pictures. They have produced documentaries for television channels across Europe and are award-winning film-makers on the international film festival circuit.

Mathew Charles is an experienced journalist and documentary maker. He has worked in some of the world’s most dangerous places for major international broadcasters like CNN and the BBC. He has dodged bullets in Guatemala, confronted the far-­-right in Serbia, and explored the chilling world of Latin American drug gangs.

Juan is one of Central America’s most known journalists. He has investigated the murky world of the South African sex trade and has delved into the underground society of London’s homeless. Guerrilla Pictures believes documentaries can change the world.

Making The Film

Mathew and Juan: "In a country with so little resources and where people are overworked and underpaid, the Engineer is the only man who seems to care. He’s the only real hope for the families of the disappeared. He’s a one man battalion that aims to find every single missing person in a country where thousands and thousands go missing every year. This is a graphic portrayal and some people will be shocked, but this is the reality of what is happening in El Salvador. This is the level of violence that people live with on a daily basis in this part of the world"
