Sinopsis Leaving your house, your birthplace, your relatives, friendships, neighbors, studies, place of work... everything in exchange of being able to keep on living in some place in the country. A terrible reality that twenty-six million people lives in our world due to war, the persecutions and the violation of the human rights. Among these twenty six million people there are more than three and a half who live in Colombia, the second country in the world with more displaced people. This is the story of the neighbors of the of the district of the "Los Altos de la Florida", in the south of Bogotà, though it is also the story of so many others that have suffered, still suffer or will keep on suffering their same luck as DISPLACED by the paramilitaries, the guerrillas and the army. joseplluis.penades@gmail.com The filming "Altos de la Florida" are located in the mountains that flank the cities of Bogota and Soacha, in the communes of Cazucá. Basically the area is inhabited by those displaced by war and violence that exists in Colombia. To make the documentary I came alone to the neighborhood with a camera and for more than two weeks I shared the same living conditions faced by families living there. This allowed me to earn the confidence of the inhabitants of the district and able to listen and record their testimonies. joseplluis.penades@gmail.com Festivals: - VI International Madrid Documentary "Documenta Madrid 09" (SPAIN) - Filmotech Award -- - XXI Girona Film Festival (SPAIN) - Best Documentary Award -- - IX Docupolis International Documentary Festival of Barcelona (SPAIN) - I International Human Rights Film Festival in Santa Coloma de Gramenet (SPAIN) - VII Festival du Cinema Social Bobines Sociales - París -- (FRANCE) - IX Festival de Cortometrajes de Mieres Cortomieres (SPAIN) - X Muestra Documentales y Fotografías de América Latina (SPAIN and ECUADOR) - III Sample movie "Refugees in the cinema" / Organized by UNHCR (VENEZUELA) (170 cinemas -- various cities) - VII Cycle on the refuge and immigration "Refugees in the cinema" / Organized by ACCEM (Madrid -- SPAIN) - The limits of the border - Cycle organized by the Instituto Cervantes / Prague - Czech Republic / Dublin - Ireland / Lisbon - Portugal / Belgrade - Serbia / Rio de Janeiro - Brazil / Gibraltar, United Kingdom / 2012
