In a territory like Colombia where training teachers informing journalists and denouncing social leaders is a danger to existence this audiovisual is as necessary and pertinent to build a country and transform realities as risky for those who dare to tell it.
The document contains the truths of the youth of a population devastated like many others in the country by that euphemism called “armed conflict.” Behind the direct and structural violence that the war and its consequences have produced there is space to narrate feelings and illusions around a tree that symbolizes the union of the body of the original populations with the soul of Mother Earth.
The animated short has been made possible thanks to the support of the Fahrenheit Foundation the Tyet Organization the production company BlueSheep ACIN and Bournemouth University . Initiatives like this must be applauded and we must ask that they be respected seen and heard and that we take note to prevent situations of terror exclusion and marginality from continuing to occur. In times when it seems that violence is once again rampant and rights are trampled on a daily basis it is necessary to maintain the hope and confidence that social transformation is possible that another better world is there and that we can achieve it. .
Art whether painting murals singing rap writing stories or making audiovisuals is a way to contribute to building peace. A way of knowing the truths of people who are born under the yoke of war and trying to restore their rights. Build stories without faces to avoid reprisals but with voices and sounds so that their stories are not lost and their lives are not forgotten. Listening to other voices to know other truths that is the task for which the Truth Commission is formed and that is why the audiovisual story had its premiere at the headquarters of this institution.
