Buenaventura, Colombia - Brutal Realities for Displaced People

Description

The relative calm of the port city of Buenaventura belies the levels of brutality faced on the ground. Rival armed groups mark their territory and residents are careful not to cross boundaries. The shantytowns on the water's edge are the areas most affected by violence and displacement. Women and children are frequent targets. This video demonstrates the danger that residents of Buenaventura find themselves in on a daily basis.
