Putting some faces to the numbers
In the previous post we discussed the political genocide that was carried out in Colombia against the Patriotic Union - a leftist political party that was trying to participate in electoral politics in the 80s and 90s. Thousands of party leaders were killed - virtually its entire leadership, its candidates for office and sitting office holders from the national Senate to local councils. But numbers are, of course, only numbers and don't convey the reality of what this is. For that a documentary may be a little more helpful."
