COLOMBIA INVISIBLE
Unai Aranzadi | Spain/Colombia | 2012 | 60'
While president Santos celebrates the launch of an international project with champagne, children who have been displaced because of it die few meters away. General Reyes states that a guerrilla leader has been executed without knowing that, few hours later, he would have to admit a "mistake": the killed person was an indigenous leader. The judge who is investigating military members for having raped and murdered three children is killed. Workers of a banana plantation risk their lives to claim their rights. Colombia invisible analyzes the Colombian conflict, looking for its causes and a pacific solution.
