The video explores the harsh realities of life in a shanty town in southern Bogota, where 2 million people live under the control of paramilitaries. Many residents, like Anna, have fled conflict in the countryside and face ongoing challenges. Anna, a mother of two, has lost family members to the violence and expresses frustration with a government that seems to prioritize rebels over refugees.
