How do you explain to a son the horrors of war? My son and I traveled to the origins’ place of our family, looking for the peace that all Colombians hope.
My grandfather Daniel was murdered when the war in Colombia began. After this, the men of my family have chosen to follow the path of the weapons. My father managed to build for himself a different life. That’s the hope that I wish to pass to my son, Matías, and to all of us, sons of Colombia. 
¿Cómo se le explica a un hijo el horror de la guerra? Mi hijo y yo viajamos a nuestro origen, buscando esa paz que tanto anhelamos los colombianos.
Mi abuelo Daniel fue asesinado al inicio de la guerra en Colombia. Luego de eso, hombres de la familia han elegido el camino de las armas. Mi padre logró construir una vida diferente. Esa es la esperanza que deseo ilumine la vida de mi hijo Matías y de todos nosotros, los hijos de Colombia.
