From Chalatenango: Episode 3

In this episode of All Ears we touch upon connection between the island and Chalatenango, El Salvador. The Salvadoran Civil War was not the only force of unrest in South America during the late twentieth century but it was significant. It was long-lasting, deadly, and generated many refugees including at least four Nantucketers from Chalantenango that we've interviewed. In this episode of All Ears we follow one man from the markets of San Salvador, across the the plantations of Central and South America, and eventually to the shores of Nantucket. This year he became father of the first Nantucketer born in 2016.
