Colombia In My Arms (2020)
directed by Jenni Kivistö/Jussi Rastas
Production: Markku Tuurna/Filmimaa (Finland)
Documentary Feature (91 mins)
The much-celebrated peace agreement runs Colombia into chaos. FARC guerrilla Ernesto, poverty-stricken coca farmers, a mysterious aristocrat, and a right-wing politician, all struggle at the edge of their morals, dreaming of a better Colombia. An intimate portrait of a deeply unequal country, which through stunning cinematography and sharp editing, makes us reflect on colonialism, capitalism and what keeps us going as humanity.
