This video is one I made to draw attention to the plight and struggle of Colombia's victims of violence and their struggle for justice and peace. It shows their resilience in the face of violence and oppression as they are dispossessed and marginalized to make room for neo-liberal-style development mega-projects by Canadian and other corporate interests. In March 2009 I used this video in a presentation I was doing in an effort to oppose a Canadian Free Trade Agreement with Colombia.
The music is Mercedes Sosas, the loose translation is mine, and the photos are from Christian Peacemaker Teams in Colombia's archives.
