Impunity

Ein Film von Hollman Morris und Juan José Lozano (2010)

Kolumbien heute: die größte Demobilisierung paramilitärischer Armeen - angeklagt, tausende Kolumbiener getötet zu haben - soll "Frieden und Gerechtigkeit" bringen. Dieser Prozess kommt jedoch plötzlich ins Stocken, sobald politische und wirtschaftliche Interessen am Paramilitarismus aufgedeckt werden. Sind die Familien der Opfer verdammt, Opfer zu bleiben, oder werden sie die Straflosigkeit (Impunity) bekämpfen können?

Der Film "Impunity" wird mit freundlicher Genehmigung der Regisseure am Freitag, 11.11.11 um 19h im Rahmen des Kongresses gezeigt.
