- I. Honduras: 'Childhood Interrupted' (2006)
- II. El Salvador: 'Childhood Rights: The privilege of learning' (2007)
- III. Honduras: 'Childhood health: Right or privilege?’ (2008)
The documentaries made about children and childhood reflect the main problems faced by this population group in Honduras and El Salvador. Generally, these are situations of children dropping out of school early, lack of civil registration, lack of health care and child labour.
Between 2006 and 2008, we produced a trilogy of documentaries on this theme which faithfully reflect the realities of childhood:
I. Honduras: 'Childhood Interrupted' (2006)
The documentary addresses three main issues: street children, child exploitation for labour and the critical situation regarding lack of child registration.
The film was presented in 2007 in the auditorium at CentroCaixa, of la Obra Social de Fundación La Caixa and at Casa de América. The inaugural conference held in this landmark building will feature presentations by professionals of the non-profit sector, such as UNICEF's Julia Rodríguez, Eva Silván from Save the Children, Inés Vázquez from Tercer Mundo and Nuria Salse from Acción Contra el Hambre.

II. El Salvador: 'Childhood Rights: The privilege of learning' (2007)
The documentary 'Childhood Rights: The privilege of learning' addresses failings in terms of education in El Salvador, focusing on three key areas: gender discrimination in education access, high school dropout rates (gangs and 'maquilas') and the advances seen in the education system in recent years.
Financing: Ayuntamiento de Madrid
III. Honduras: 'Childhood health: Right or privilege?’ (2008)
In areas where Fundación del Valle is active, living conditions in homes are very precarious. This situation leads to serious health problems in children, affecting their growth from the earliest stages of development.
The documentary 'Childhood health: Right or privilege?' addresses the problem of health access in Honduras and how it impacts the most vulnerable children. The documentary was filmed entirely in Honduras with the help of CEPROD.
