Until They Are Found: The Search for Colombia's Disappeared
Until They Are Found: The Search for Colombia's Disappeared at WOSU Public Media
This event brings an important documentary to Columbus for a meaningful viewing experience. "Por Cielo y Tierra (Through Heaven and Earth)" is an acclaimed film that tells the stories of four Colombian families navigating the search for relatives who vanished during years of armed conflict in their country. The screening is hosted by Ohio State's Mershon Center for International Security Studies at WOSU Public Media.
What makes this event special is the opportunity to engage directly with the film's subject matter through a live conversation following the screening. Luz Janeth Forero Martínez, who directs Colombia's Search Unit for Missing Persons, will join attendees to discuss the documentary and the ongoing work to locate disappeared individuals. This is ideal for high school students and adults interested in international issues, human rights, and documentary film, and for families who want to explore important global topics together in a structured, educational setting.
