Strangers to Peace

About This Movie

Strangers to Peace is a raw and haunting documentary that dives deep into the aftermath of Colombia's civil conflict through the eyes of three former child soldiers. The film’s tone is contemplative, almost meditative, yet it doesn’t shy away from the harsh realities these individuals face. You get a sense of their struggles with identity and trauma, especially with Dayana's journey as a trans woman trying to carve out a place in society. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to sit with their stories, absorbing the weight of their experiences. The performances feel incredibly genuine, as if the camera is just a silent witness to their lives unfolding. It’s a niche piece, but it captures a deeply personal struggle for peace and acceptance amidst chaos.
