two incredible films by octavi royo (check out all his work):

"The seeds of the stones" on a community resisting armed conflict in Colombia

A social circus arrives by bus to the Peace Community of San Jose de Apartado. There, they met some people who did not want to be involve in the conflict that Colombia is having. They believe all those who are killing are wrong. In 1997 they declared Community of Peace and since then the armed actors have killed to more than one third of their population. But they are ready to defend the peace up to the last consequences.
