All first, a depiction of the Guatemalan Civil War and other large-scale political events like the Guatemalan coup and the fight against political oppression. The film's subject matter was presented in a more political than warlike manner, which prevented the film from becoming a violent war film, but at times not really showing an accurate depiction of the atrocities that took place in Guatemala during this period. time. This film also accurately reflects the attitudes of the film's characters and how they felt about the events that took place during the struggle for or against communism, providing a range of viewpoints from both sides of the political fence.

It is also unique in that it actually shows the attitudes of those who are in opposition, neutral or in agreement with the events of the Civil War from a perspective never seen before, and that the filmmaker's message is in favor of change and risk-taking and its relationship to positive political change aims to shape public opinion.
