Los Desaparecidos

So much blood is spilled in vain. Lessons in how to mutilate and get rid of a corpse. Common shallow graves with dozens of forgotten souls. The imbalance of wealth and the concentration of power. Corruption, cronyism, gangsters for hire, hidden agendas, kidnappings, massacres, war with no end in sight. Forty years, fifty years, one hundred. Colombia has good people, but violence has been part of every single part of its history. Is it possible to start over again?
