This footage was filmed and produced 30 August 2021.
A tribute was paid on the International Day of the Victims of Forced Disappearances in a unique place in Bogota called Plaza de Bolivar. Mothers of the so-called "false positives" from Colombia gathered there to express their feelings.

Interviews in order of appearance:
"Luz Edilia Palacio, mother of Jader Andres Palacio Bustamante. Disappeared in the north of Santander in Ocaña on August 23, 2008. Killed by the Colombian military forces. We are here celebrating the day of the victims, we know that in Colombia there is no justice, we demand the truth from the military forces. Today it is assumed that General Mario Montoya is being charged, but we know that nothing will happen."

"María Doris Tejada, mother of Oscar Alexander Morales Tejada and two other boys, German Leal Perez, Octavio David Bilbao they took them both, they are in a common grave, they still do not appear, they are the so-called false positives and here we are making a representation of the bodies, 6402 killed by the army".
