Info

The war between Marxist FARC guerrillas and Colombian government troops lasted for over fifty years. A fight for a revolution that cost the lives of over 250,000 people, and for a cause that could never be achieved.
In 2016 Colombia stood before the imminent signing of a peace agreement aimed at ending the war. In a referendum, however, a majority of the population at first voted against the peace agreement. Federico Rios Escobar documented the lives of the Colombian rebels – caught between war and the hope of peace – for Stern magazine.
