- Synopsis
- Hijos del Viento is Felipe Monroy's third film to explore the dark traces of the armed conflict that has ravaged his country, Colombia, for 60 years. A country where the false and the true are constantly reversed to cover the crimes of a corrupt government.
  Between 2002 and 2010, to demonstrate that Uribe's government was winning the war against the guerrillas, thousands of young people from the shantytowns were kidnapped, tortured and murdered by the national army, which paraded them in front of the media as alleged guerrillas who had died in combat. They have since been referred to as "falsos positivos".
  Faced with the silence, the lies and the impunity of the state, three mothers demand truth and justice, supported by a non-commissioned officer who, at the risk of his life, denounces on camera the abuses and crimes he witnessed.
  Hijos del Viento tells the story of their struggle to ensure that the memory of these children does not blow away with the wind.
