BOJAYA: Caught in the Crossfire

HD
IMDb Watch List
Poster

The 2002 Bojaya massacre was and remains, one of the worst mass atrocities in Colombia’s 50 year-long conflict. The victims were never to be properly identified. As a result, Leyner decided to become a lawyer to fight for his people’s rights. Through capturing Leyner’s obstacle-filled quest in real time, a fascinating perspective emerges on an unfolding history in Colombia. Is Leyner’s value merely symbolic, or can this poster-boy for peace make a difference? Is the violence in Colombia cyclical and intractable, or can it be changed by listening to the voices of the victims?
