Comisión para el esclarecimiento de la verdad, la convivencia y la no-repetición

Why is understanding history an important part of formulating the closure of an armed conflict? After an endlessly violent and socially destructive armed conflict, the Colombian government and the FARC-EP guerrillas are working to sign a peace agreement that will transform Colombian society and politics forever, and thus ensure a successful post-conflict and a lasting peace. As part of the general agreement, there is a commission titled: "Comisión para el esclarecimiento de la verdad, la convivencia y la no-repetición" (Commission for the clarification of the truth, coexistence and non-repetition), which aims to rewrite the last 50 years of Colombian history. This eponymous documentary will speculate on the implications of history as a powerful tool for nation building.
