SYNOPSIS

At the announcement of the signing of peace agreements between the Colombian government and the guerrillas in 2016, Germán Gutiérrez went to film in one of the last FARC camps. There he met ex-combatants, many of them women, Afro-Colombians, and Indigenous people, all from the poorest strata of society. It is to them that he wanted to give a voice. For six years, he was on the front lines of this crucial historical period for Colombia, which would end with the election of Gustavo Petro, an ex-guerrilla of the M-19, as president of the country in June 2022.
