The film examines the impact of chemical spraying and military funding and reveals alternate U.S. interests. Features interviews with Noam Chomsky, the late Senator Paul Wellstone, Colombian Presidential candidate Ingrid Betancourt, Congressmen John Conyers and Jim McGovern, U.S. State Department officials, guerilla leaders and others. PLUS 11-minute documentary This 11-minute documentary was produced by the Bogota-based Witness for Peace team in Colombia. It illustrates the ongoing nonviolent struggle of farmers in the Uraba region to regain the land from which they were violently displaced in a 1997 military/paramilitary operation. After the displacement, the land was taken over by logging and agribusiness companies that replaced the forests and family farms with large cattle ranches and oil palm plantations. PLUS Patrick Bonner Patrick Bonner is coordinator of Colombia Peace Project Los Angeles, a non-partisan association committed to education and advocacy in support of nonviolent efforts for peace, human rights, and social justice in Colombia. He has visited Colombia on nine occasions, most recently in July 2010. Discussion following film.
