Bad guys in movies have predictable and determined citizenships. I come from Colombia and my husband is German. It is always likely that the bad guy in movies could be either a Colombian drug dealer or a German Nazi. At least humor and sarcasm provides a better approach to conflicts.
I come from Bogotá, Colombia's capital. It is a city with almost 7 million inhabitants. It has the characteristics of any big city, and of course the absurd and originality of the Latin culture.
Unfortunately the media provides weak and unilateral versions of the Colombian problematic; while the effort of other actors is completely unacknowledged.
There are many other faces of this country, other stories and other people. This blog will be a place for this other Colombia.
