º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ this event
As part of the project Trocha De Paz, a collaboration between Universidad del Valle (Colombia) and º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ that aims to contribute to the promotion of peace in Colombia, º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ students and staff are invited to a screening of the documentary film Bajo Fuego / Under Siege.
The film is in Spanish with English subtitles. The directors and producers, Irene Vélez Torres and Sjoerd Van Grootheest, will attend the screening and will be available to take questions from the audience. Bajo Fuego depicts the unravelling of peace for a group of coca-growing peasants in the southwest of Colombia. The film takes the perspective of the ‘cocaleros’ and over a period of three years shows how they survive in the midst of the most difficult of circumstances. The promised peace in Colombia turns out to be an illusion when armed groups terrorize the region, assassinations occur, and the films’ main protagonists are being threatened with their lives and displaced from their homes.
The event is in person and will be followed by refreshments.
