Set in 1983 during a Spanish Civil War, El Viaje de Carol (Carol's Journey) tells an intertwined story of mass and personal tragedy through the eyes of a young Spanish American girl. Though the story begins with images and expressions of hope, the brutal and sneaky disaster that is the Spanish Civil War does not leave Carol unscathed. Her innocent eyes are made to witness lives unfairly taken and the remaining lives be ruled by fear and loss, her own included.
El Viaje de Carol is a story of a losing battle, heartbreaking injustice and the inevitable loss of innocence that comes with the unforgiving touches of war.
You have a wonderful style of writing Jina -- very emotive and obviously engaged with the material you have chosen. This is a wonderful example of a very good primary source. I'm especially ecstatic that you've chosen something that's not mainstream Hollywood, yet still very much relevant to our course theme. Good job!
