In the sixth edition of Social Film, a series of independent documentaries that will be held at the Teatro Cuminetti of Trent, we attended the screening of Falsos Positivos, Simone and Bruno Dado Carillo. This is a documentary of 2009 who wants to bring out the scandal Colombian unknown to most of the rest of the world, precisely that of Falsos Positivos; more than 1,600 innocent civilians and passed off as guerrillas killed by Colombian paramilitary demonstrate the positive results of government in the war on drug traffickers.
What is this?
According to the information in documentary army soldiers receive licenses, and deserve medals for all "guerrillas" killed, so you kill to get permission to visit distant relatives , in order to display a frieze in the most uniform, and those guilty of this crime are themselves servants of a patient who did not know power institutionally deal with the problem of drugs and crime resorting to inhuman .
So ordinary people would be removed from the streets of their city with the promise of good jobs and sold a few hours after the Colombian army, murdered, stripped, dressed as FARC guerrillas and photographed to witness' "Good work" done by the military, the military should ensure legal security of citizens, and do not go around killing civilians.
addition, the documentary shows us how often victims are simple farmers that the army kills as if they were allied with the guerrillas FARC, a group of revolutionary guerrillas and opposition parties in power since 2000 when the list of terrorist groups compiled by the U.S. .
Abuse in abuse, a violation that masked under another fight, one between the Colombian army and guerrillas opposed to official power, are among them, the victims , one every 19 hours . The case of
Falsos Positivos (a name that is used by those victims who had as children, husbands, brothers) is a clear crime against humanity, against the right to life. Crime remains silent. At the end of the projection
documentary was said by the inventor of the show, Stefano Giordano, and the journalist Guido Small, an expert in issues relating to Latin America, which has collaborated on some parts of the film. Little explained that these crimes go unpunished manage to be perfectly masked by the government, so that Colombia is seen by all as an example of virtuous struggle drug trafficking.
President Uribe, said Small, pushes its military to bring positive results, or corpses as evidence of the struggle against the FARC (the only opposition movement to the official power), but to hide the failure of ' army to fight the guerrilla sends its military to do more deaths among civilians, posing as guerrillas.
It is estimated that out of 10 crimes against humanity are committed by Uribe 9, 1 by the FARC. Nevertheless
continue to think that Colombia is a democracy , because in its history there has only been a coup, or because, in fact, to elect the president uses regular popular elections.
Who will ever know that people put in place massive forms of resistance and protest to demand justice? Who will ever know that a third of Colombian politicians are under investigation for paramilitary activity?
