A special examination of Transitional Justice in Columbia from A World of Possibilities.  Produced by Gregg McVicar.

For more than 40 years, Colombia has been caught in the cross fire of “La Violencia”: thousands dead, millions more driven from their homes. Impunity remains the law of the land. Now a series of tribunals and truth commissions are seeking to discover what really happened; to give victims a chance to express their anger and sorrow and perpetrators a chance to confess and serve time or be amnestied.

Host: Mark Sommer
Sr. Producer: Gregg McVicar
Associate Producers: Matt Fidler & Naihma Deady
