Directed by Jessica Solce
 FORGING A COUNTRY a short film

Forging a Country is a short film covering the re-election of President Nayib Bukele. Director Jessica Solce captures the mood on the streets and behind the scenes in
El Salvador leading up to President Bukele’s historic landslide 2nd term election.

“Solce does not put her political convictions front and center. She is more artist than polemicist; nonetheless, her work exemplifies a quiet resistance to the tactics of mainstream, commercial documentary film.
-Matt Himes, The Blaze
“It bears all the hallmarks of a Solce production, not least of all her honesty and commitment to giving the characters of her story the chance to speak on their own terms.”
-Raw Egg Nationalist
