You buying a coffee from El Salvador and Trump building a border wall have nothing in common.

Over five episodes, we explore a story of El Salvador. We confront massacres, wide inequality and the specialty coffee you drink today.

In Part 2, we reveal why our economist nicknames his own country "El Savage.”
