The dark history of Comuna 13

Comuna 13, a district in Medellín, Colombia, is a thriving hub of graffiti artists, music and culture. But it hasn't always been this way.

In this film we explore the dark history of the district, the brutal military operation that traumatised its residents, and how the community has used art to rebuild.
