00:00In the history of Colombia, in the history of Colombia, the role of Chiquita is Funesto.
00:04I think in the history of Latin America.
00:06He's a character who doesn't love you well.
00:10Like if you had a adoptive father who doesn't screw you.
00:23This is the main character, who is the owner of Chiquita.
00:26And the second character is Sever.
00:30But this is the moment in which he is going to join the Huelengues.
00:34This is the character of him.
00:57First of all, the main character is always at night.
01:01Because he's a nocturned character.
01:02He's not only aspired to that what happens, what happens, not visible.
01:07But he's also willing to do the things that, in the middle of the day,
01:13And when he finally came to the Bogotá in the 90s,
01:16it's a very cold and it's the moment in which he despreciates the tropical.
01:23Because he's a guy who comes here, but he says the tropical is...
01:26And later he says the tropical is...
01:29And he says the tropical is...
01:29That's why the novel is called La Buena Sombra.
01:32Because the thing is that when you act up a good tree,
01:34The tropical is raspberries, The beautiful sun, the dark is...
01:36You know...
01:36With that idea, Colombia and many countries in Central America
01:40Have played with the idea that it's intelligent to be
01:43Resguardate in the big companies, like a kind of paraguas
01:47That's why you protect yourself, so that everything is getting better.
01:50more quickly.
02:13There is a moment in which there are a series of squadrons,
02:17more or less aisladas in Córdoba, to become the AUC.
02:23And a good part of why they could do it was the money that they received from little children.
02:30The 35th Finca was where a good part of the Bloc Elmer Cardenas.
02:35They had several fincas in Urabá.
02:38This was in San Pedro Urabá, a five minutes from San Pedro Urabá,
02:41where they were training young people,
02:44trained by sicarians of narcotráfico and ex-militares.
02:49And on the other side is the Raspachín,
02:53which is a Raspachín from Tierra Alta Córdoba.
02:56Acaba met in the squadron of the Huelengues,
02:58which is the squadron that would become the Bloc Elmer Cardenas.
03:02Visualmente, there is a lot of contrast.
03:04The part that occurs in Tierra Alta,
03:06since the Raspachín reclutin to the Pelados and this Raspachín,
03:10occurs in 1996.
03:12He always wore a junior hat because that year he was champion.
03:16And that hat has a strong meaning in the novel
03:19because when he went to recruiting,
03:23the hat is everything he was before.
03:26He liked football.
03:28And when he was in training,
03:30and he was eating shit,
03:32and he knew everything he was doing,
03:34then he finds the hat again and says,
03:36Oh, what's wrong?
03:42What's wrong on that?
03:43The case of Chiquita
03:43allows to see how the way
03:46the images permit or legitimes
03:49those desafueros
03:51that occurred from here.
03:52It doesn't mean that
03:53all the capital extranjero
03:55takes away from the territory
03:56to the place,
03:57but in the case of Chiquita,
03:59It is evident that when it is done, it is done in a way that is not only political or
04:04technical,
04:05but it is accompanied by ideology and images of how it is conceived in the tropical.
04:14It is considered as a savage, alive, but uncontrollable, infantil.
04:19In other words, the foreign investors come with the idea that they will implant the serenity,
04:24the logic, the coherence.
04:45I think this story is very interesting. It is a very sad story, but it is a story that has
04:51great characters.
04:53I think it is very eloquent, it speaks to me a lot of things.
04:57For example, the citizen is coming, traveling back to the country,
05:02and he receives the support of a security staff of the Carboneras.
05:09So, he tells us more or less,
05:11you are going to have a meeting and you are going to meet with this and with this,
05:13trate them like this, this works like this.
05:16Hopefully it would have happened in Camboya or Nicaragua this of the Convivir,
05:21because this will solve all the inconvenience.
05:48I hope that you have a second part, but in the moment in which the
05:53this novel ends, the citizen has traveled to Ohio, where they have decided to go to Colombia,
06:00in the conditions that they are planning on the AUC,
06:03and they decide to come and stay in the country, and that is the moment in which the novel ends.
06:09There are no idea...
06:11....
06:11...
06:13...
