THE RED BRIDGE 1994 (Trailer) Omayra Martínez Garzón "Frankfurt Moves!" 2023 What is the value of life? Have we forgotten about it? Or do we need to stop and think about it? Violence, abuse, missing people, extractivism, guerrilla warfare, kidnapping, corrupt politicians, paramilitary forces, multinational companies, military forces and civil population are heads of an invisible monster. Omayra Martínez Garzón takes El Puente Rojo (Red Bridge), Colombia, 1994, as a point of departure to try to search for a bit of light in the middle of darkness and to look the monster in the eye.
