behind the scenes
During this period I would go back to the transition camp of the FARC close to Caldono, once a month.
Film Festivals & Awards
Unpaved road to Peace was selected for several international festivals (Movies that Matter, Human Rights Festival Berlin, TRT Documentary festival Instanbul) and won the price for best documentary at the Festival Internacional de Cine por los Derechos Humanos Colombia.
OPEN AIR SCREENINGS
One of my highlights of 2019, was taking our documentary “Unpaved road to Peace” back to the villages and communities around Caldono (where we filmed it, in 2016, 2017 & 2018) and showing it there.
This is something I had in mind for a long time and I am very proud that we could make it happen. In the audience where the victims from Caldono, but also ex-commanders of the FARC, which made it all a very special screening.
