SFU Students Explain Jose Figueroa's Case in Informative Mini-Documentary

A group of SFU students put together this great documentary about Jose's case. The film is about 20 minutes long, and features interviews with Jose and Prof. Max Cameron from UBC. It nicely explains the history of the El Salvadorian civil conflict that saw about 70,000 people killed. It also sheds light on and how the FMLN came to be equated with 'terrorism' by ill-informed CBSA officers employing Canada's loose definition of the phenomena under the 2001 Anti-Terrorism Legislation. 

If you have a few spare minutes I strongly recommend that you watch it.
