A few weeks ago, while I was doing some research about human rights violations in Colombia I came across with a web page of an NGO based in London called Justice for Colombia. I was astonished about the amount of information and their commitment for social justice in the northwester South American country.
More surprising was to find out the terrible situation which Colombian trade unionists are living in. To realize that this beautiful territory, full of ethnical, cultural and environmental diversity is suffocated with impunity, corruption and social misery.
Once I was immersed into the information about their campaigns and their work, I learnt about a Colombian political prisoner that is an inspiration, an example to follow, a woman that deserves admiration for her strength, fairness and tenacity. Liliany Obando is a Colombian dissident of inequality and who has been in prison since august 2008, without a trial.
Digging into her life, I discovered that she isn’t just an activist, she is also an independant film director. She has produced documentaries that are forbidden on Colombian national television. I found one of them “Postponed Dreams” - a film that tells the truth about experienced by everyday Colombians.
Please follow the link below and experience what this film has to say.
