Shooting Colombia

Coming Summer 2009

About Shooting Colombia

This was a journey into the unknown and, the untold. Armed only with cameras, 12 people from different nationalities, backgrounds and walks of life agreed to take part in an experiment, to experience the true Colombia. Told to leave their pre-conceptions at home they documented the truth exactly as they saw it. Witness the unimaginable places, the characters and the experience of a lifetime as they saw it.

This is their story.

Context- I lived for a year abroad and it was so difficult to talk about my country. Since I´ve been back several friends have visited and had their experience of context. I believe the interesting thing about Colombia is that although context can be so complex to understand their is another side of Colombia full of life, full of hope, full of energy to work towards a better future. This side of the story also needs to be told.

I have read all of the comments and can only agree with the wonderful idea of shooting Colombia.

There is another important subject no one takes in account, Colombians populations is apparently secure but at the same time more ignorant it's depressing to see a nation that behavies like shep. There is not real peace in this country, peace without voice it's not peace is fear. Just watch the soap operas this nation aproves the mafia way of living and nobody says anything I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that many of the members of this goverment are mafia sons...

Simply embarrassing. Colombia is full of hookers and drugs and governed by an incredibly backwards government that welcomes the criminals from other countries with open arms. How sad to attempt to change the perception of foreigners with an inherently biased form of media. Save the money for the much-needed programs to keep the young women and men out of the brothels/massage parlors and off the streets.

There is one thing nobody wants to talk about in Colombia and from my point of view is the main problem Colombia's society is facing at the moment. We had ligitimized the children of the mafia and we had opened the elite class door to them just because of the fact that they have money and as long as they have money no one asks where it comes from, and that means that we are giving the wrong message to the public, we are actually telling them to become a mafia lord in order to succeed in this country. It is sad to admit this but unless we face this problem we won't see any prompt solution in Colombia. Many thanks for sharing this experience. Best,

A few facts in regards to Colombian's media ownership: RCN: Ardilla Lulle, Caracol y El Espectador: Grupo Santo Domingo, City TV y El tiempo: Casa Editorial el Tiempo. I do not think these few monopolies represent a pluralist view and different voices in the Colombian media. Is there really free press in Colombia?. In fact there are many examples of journalist that have been dismissed for reporting professionally what happen in Colombia. Another fact, many human rights organizations have highlight the state violence as one of the main causes of displacement and killings in Colombia. How many politicians, generals and militars are being prosecute for connections with paramilitars? Probably the country is more secure for tourist and for rich colombians but not for most Colombians who inside have to suffer the direct impact of politic violence.

Frank, inform better yourself before say, those king of thing about my country, i'm not a fan of this goverment but things here aint like you are saying it here's also free press not all the press are gagged, not all the 4 million displaced are caused by the paramilitary groups, remember that we have here "marxist" guerrilla groups who also displace people triyng to control certain areas of the national territory to grow coca plants or poppy plants.

To the creator of this site, what a great idea to show to the world how beauty is this country.
