EL ROJO MÁS PURO / The Deepest Red

Dir. Yira Plaza O’Byrne | 73’ | Colombia | 2023

About the film: Luis Plaza, a 70-year-old union leader, survived the extermination of his political party. After the last attack he suffered in 2014, Yira—his daughter and the film’s director—lives with him and discovers a man who fights alone and longs for his family. As she wonders whether it has been worth risking his life for political convictions, she comes to know the person behind the slogans.

This screening will conclude with a thought-provoking conversation with Andrei Gómez-Suárez, director of the Rodeemos el Diálogo (ReD) Foundation, peace builder and writer. Andrei Gómez-Suárez is currently part of the Colombian Government Delegation in the ongoing peace dialogues and is the author of El Triunfo del No and his latest book, We Are Not Made of Sugar.
