Dos Caminos (ca. 1974)

This short dramatic film, made in El Salvador, addresses problems caused by ignorance about human sexuality and myths and misunderstandings about conception and pregnancy. Two village girls travel to the capital for schooling. One is studious and careful and returns to her village to work in the health clinic.
