Life Is Sacred

“If anyone doubted that idealism has a place in politics, then Life is Sacred winningly shows that it can…”

– The Hollywood Reporter

Iambic Dream Films, in association with the producers behind the 2014 Oscar® Nominated The Act of Killing, is proud to present a documentary about changing a violent and corrupt country.

THE STORY

This is a story about a fearless politician and his devoted followers. With an army of young people hoping for change, he uses mimes, pencils, flash mobs, and superhero costumes to attack the corruption and violence in Colombia. A young woman falls in love with the movement, but to change a society penetrated by illegality turns out to be much more difficult than she ever anticipated.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR COLOMBIA

For two generations, we have been bombarded with stories about the evils of Colombia. The image has been one of drug lords, guerrilla groups, paramilitaries, and corrupted politicians that rule over citizens and society. If you are from Colombia, you probably want to share a positive story of change. Share this other face of Colombia; the one of hard working people who tirelessly struggle for a real democracy.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR THE WORLD

If you are from any other country, you probably want this story to inspire your own politicians and prove that peaceful change is possible, without corruption and violence. Our goal is to open up the debate about morals and politics, not just in Colombia, but everywhere.
