Everything I Am Not

After facing false accusations of terrorism, enduring three years of pretrial incarceration, and escaping into exile, a Colombian lawyer and activist dives into her memoirs to expose the extent of violence embedded in Colombia's judicial system — a merciless apparatus employed by the state to suppress dissent and instill fear among the nation's youth, social leaders, and intellectuals. Her intent is not to unravel the specific plot that led to her incarceration or prove her innocence, but rather to shed light on the profound personal and societal consequences of judicial persecution, particularly in the lives of women. Her testimony gives shape to a vivid portrait of a region ensnared in political violence and a nation slowly forging its path towards peace.
