CHILDREN OF THE REVOLUTION (HIJXS DE LA REVOLUCIÓN)

A film by Rodrigo Vázquez-Salessi

Event supported by Alborada and Santiago Alvarez In Memoriam International Documentary Film Festival (FIDSA)

86 minutes, 2023, Produced by Bethnal Films & Contravia

Five years after signing a peace agreement with the Colombian government, three demobilised ex-FARC guerrillas, Amanda, Yuheni, and Juan, struggle to adapt to civilian life while trying to reinvent themselves. They once belonged to one of the most combative guerrilla units, but now they strive to find their place in the world, facing the traumatic experiences of war while trying to make a living. Amanda becomes a political leader and works for the political party founded by the former guerrillas. Yuheni clings to art to survive the injustice she sees around her. But Juan becomes a victim of an attack carried out by a paramilitary group, survives, and decides to take up arms once again. Meanwhile, more than 300 former guerrillas are killed by paramilitary groups across the country.

Film starts at 6.30pm. Post-screening Q&A (8-8.30pm) with director Rodrigo Vázquez-Salessi. Chaired by Pablo Navarrete (Alborada Films)
