Description

More than 50 years of conflict between the government army, guerrilla rebels and paramilitary groups has led to the internal displacement of more than 7 million - leaving visible scars on the landscape and people of Colombia. We are Indestructible is the culmination of Nissen's work, providing a portrait of a war-torn country navigating the complexities of newfound peace.
