在这部沉默者的记忆:红色之舞纪录片/短片片中,幸存者和受害者家属的记忆谴责了自1985年以来哥伦比亚发生的对爱国联盟约3000名激进分子和同情者的迫害和实际灭绝。这起政治种族灭绝案件是有系统和有组织地针对一个合法的政治反对派组织(共产党人,独立于不同的组织和意识形态)在一个维持宪法和非独裁政权的国家犯下的。
In the mid-1980s, peace initiatives between the Colombian government and the guerrilla group, FARC, led the latter to disband after two decades of fighting and establish a legal-political party, the Union Patriótica (Patriotic Union). As the UP met with some successs in local elections, it became a target of right-wing death squads and paramilitaries. So far, 3,000 UP members have been murdered or have disappeared, making it a case of political genocide unparalleled in the world. The documentary \"The Red Dance\" views, through the memories of survivors and relatives of victims, this period of terror and assassination. While FARC has reverted to war, a petition is pending before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) regarding human rights violations by the State of Colombia.
