Colombia In My Arms

Ernesto is one of many FARC guerrillas who dream about a better country worth fighting for, but this time without a weapon. However, the peace agreement — aimed at ending 52 years of armed conflict — throws the polarized society into chaos, with everyone fearing for the future and their own survival. What happens to a fragile peace in an unequal country when doing the 'wrong' thing may easily be justified as the only means of struggle?

Colombia in My Arms is an intimate, strong and sincere portrait of people at the extremes of Colombian society. Through the situation of one country, this documentary reflects the human condition on a universal level.
