Internal Displacement in Colombia | FILMS BYKIDS
Learn about the lives of Colombia’s internally displaced people—forced to flee their homes due to a civil war between paramilitary forces, guerrillas, and the ELN—in this video from FILMS BYKIDS: Displaced But Not Defeated. This video introduces students to 16-year-old filmmaker Maria Ceballos Paz, an internally displaced person struggling to rebuild her life. Maria worked with a BYkids film mentor to tell the story of her family's struggle for survival after Maria lost her father to the Colombian conflict.
Visit the FILMS BYKIDS website to see the full film and learn more about Maria and other young filmmakers.
