Synopsis:
El viaje del desengaño is a documentary about the conflict between the La Colosa mine and the people of Cajamarca (Tolima). The documentary tells us about a farmer who seeks to maintain the agricultural tradition of his village while a mining company seeks to promote new forms of economy there.
The documentary is filmed in 2017 at a transcendental moment for this conflict: elections for a new mayor, a referendum to approve or reject the mine in the town, and a permit that the mining company is waiting for to start its project.
Non-Violence Themes: ECONOMIC, MORAL, RACIAL

Acknowledgment:
FICNOVA recognises in the film the magnificent story of a demonstration effect of the transformative power of nonviolence, in the rebellion of an organised people against the impositions of the “powerful”.
