It is not an ordinary day, now John shoots the camera and not the rifle. Now he is aiming not at the enemy but at his comrades with whom he is marching towards the imminent laying down of arms. Jhon portrays the last day of the FARC as no other photographer could, as a combatant: from intimacy and camaraderie. As he releases the shutter, he recognizes the uneasy expressions on those familiar faces and understands in each one the melancholic details of their farewell. Some in civilian clothes and others in camouflage, march together at intervals towards an uncertain future. This award-winning film in Mar del Plata is a renewing proposal on how to build memory in a digital time and that, finally, invites us to give not only the voice but also the camera.
