BUSCO PERSONAS takes a look at the forgotten faces of Colombia’s 40-year-war. What started as a political conflict is now little more than a fight for drug money and territory, and it is innocent Colombians who are paying the price. The film is set to the soundtrack of vibrant Colombian music from Grammy winning artists Juanes and Aterciopelados as well as newcomers ChocQuibTown. BUSCO PERSONAS goes from the shanty towns of southern Bogota to the edge of the conflict in rural Colombia—letting some of the four million internally displaced people tell their story while examining one of the most ignored humanitarian crises in the world.
