For more than 50 years, Colombia has been torn by internal armed conflict that rages to this day. While the current administration of President Alvaro Uribe has been lauded for its reduction of crime and guerilla activity, critical observers declare that while attempting to secure the country through military control they are neglecting the grave problems of continual human rights abuses.

In 2006, a investigations revealed several high ranking Uribista politicians to be in collusion with drug-trafficking paramilitary organizations, calling into question the administration and character of the popular Uribe, who is now considering amending the constitution to allow himself a third term.

This film is an excerpt of material taken to document the results of this political scandal. The subject is the leader of the opposition party, Senator Gustavo Petro, who was instrumental in the unfolding of the scandal and who now bears the dubious honor of being popularly called 'the most threatened man in Colombia.'

  • Hay sin duda un interesante tema al cual se hace alegoria en este video: LA IZQUIERDA LATINOAMERICANA Y EL MOMENTO HISTORICO EN EL QUE TRABAJA!

    Es importantisimo entender a estos personajes pues ellos son los unicos que confrontan a lo ya establecido en nuestros pueblos. La corrupcion y maridaje de los politicos y los mafiosos en paises como Colombia o incluso Mexico no es lago nuevo y es talves el MAYOR reto de nuestro tiempo. QUE LO COMBATIRIA EFECTIVAMENTE???? Una (otra) revolucion desde las escalas sociales mas pobres? Son estos nuestros VERDADEROS lideres de izquierda? o es una izquierda disfrasada y light?

    Saludos mi amigo La79 !
