Cinema Klandestino return with a bang to present the Bristol première of this  as yet unreleased film. Not even screened in Colombia, the production team are  making a special visit to Bristol to introduce it, host Q&A and as always with  CineK, lead a discussion afterwards. The film contains extensive and exclusive  interviews with the FARC's key negotiator, Raúl Reyes, assassinated by the  Colombian government in a bombing raid in Ecuadorian territory in late February  this year. 
Promises and Bullets charts the history of the war in Colombia, from its  origins to one of the most protracted and violent conflicts Latin America has  ever seen. By exposing the role of the guerrilla, paramilitary groups, the army  and the Colombian government, the film illustrates the full magnitude and  complexity of Colombia's civil war. GCM Productions analyse the role of the  Colombian state and question its ability and readiness to broker a real and  lasting peace. Finally, it offers a space for ordinary citizens to speak about  the conflict and how it affects them.
