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.
