A film by Catalina Villar, with discussion to follow with Marcie Ley, former CUSLAR coordinator who lived with the peace community in San José de Apartadó in Colombia.
Two million displaced persons, 35,000 murders per year, 70,000 mines scattered all over the country, a kidnapping every ten minutes: Colombia is the theatre of one of the most tragic wars of our time. In Welcome to Colombia, filmmaker Catalina Villar travels across her country - through territory held by guerrillas, paramilitaries and government forces - during the course of Colombia's 2002 presidential election. Everywhere she finds people who are tired of the fighting and the blaming, and who simply want peace.
