Silenced voices Cauca
"Silenced Voices "
It is a documentary that shows the current situation of leaders in northern Cauca, Colombia. From Social Work, with an emphasis on Human Rights and from journalism, we sensitize society.
We show the daily struggle in the search for peace. We listen to the voices, often silenced, of human beings who are willing to give their lives for peace, for the care of their people and their territory.
Seven years after the signing of the Peace Agreement, multiple armed groups are still present in the territories. Too many human beings pay the price of this war with their lives.
This documentary is a recognition of leaders, reflecting their strength and dedication to transform lives and sow peace.
Colombia requires a transformation from the ground up, based on equality for all.
Human rights are universal, they cannot remain on paper!
Interview Rosana Mejía
Rosana Mejía, Senior Advisor of the Association of Community Councils of Northern Cauca (ACONC) tells us about the union between black, indigenous and peasant communities in northern Cauca.
Several times she had to leave her land due to the armed conflict and threats against her life.
The Basque country welcomed her, but the family was left behind. Her deep connection to the place of her birth – through a ritual with the umbilical cord – has always brought her back to Colombia. And this is where she works for her community, even though for safety reasons she can no longer bathe in the Cauca River.
