Famous FARC kidnapping movie will be shown in Colombia

A film about a famous FARC kidnapping will be released in Colombia despite the legal wrangling of the victim to prevent its distribution.

Former Colombian congresswoman Clara Rojas was kidnapped by the FARC, Colombia’s largest left-wing insurgency, in 2002 and held for six years. 

Rojas In the complaint

“Censorship doesn’t exist in Colombia” said minister Mariana Garces.

Rojas has announced plans to make her own film about the events.

“Yes, I confess that I have an agent hired to do this, to make a movie is not easy, it takes a while, and we’ll see if it can be done in time.”
