Synopsis
For twenty-five years peace-brigades have been active in countries, in which men and women are 'disappearing'. As unarmed bodyguards they accompany targets of political killers - sometimes around the clock.PBI has been protecting people from the threat of death squadrons in Guatemala, Haiti, Timor, El Salvador, Indonesia, Columbia and Mexico. Now teams are also being set up in Nepal and Congo. Even in places like Mexico-City the work of the peace-brigades is still necessary – because there are still human-rights activists 'disappearing'.
Rasmus Gerlach’s new documentary follows PBI-activists not only through the Colombian jungle but also into prisons and bloody battles with the police in Bogota. A VJ-work done under dangerous circumstances...
