Synopsis
Colombian civil war has produced unique initiaves - like the ones by Herbin, Brigida and Boris. Herbin is the head of "Voices of Kidnapping", a radio program in which relatives and friends send news to the victims. Brigida is one of the founders of San José Apartadó Peace Community - which has chosen to be neutral in the conflict and therefore has been atacked by all sides. And Boris is an ex-member of FARC who has become a strong critic of the methods and goals of the guerrilla. Brazilian documentarist Luís Nachbin has met Herbin in a very special edition of his program; spent a few days with Brigida in the peace community; and talked to Boris in his ONG office. In all three situations, the main question is: how can peace be achieved in Colombia?
