20:45-36:45 Colombian Peace Deal
Kyla Sankey, Jacobin Writer & Activist. The people of Colombia are in an anxious state after a historic referendum resulted in a jarring win for right-wing opponents of peace. The peace deal was arrived at after four years of hard negotiations between the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC-EP, and the administration of President Juan Manel Santos, yet it hinged on the approval by a majority of Colombians, who ultimately said “No” to ending a 52-year war that claimed hundreds of thousands of lives and displaced approximately six million people.

Celebrated documentarian Denis Delestrac returns with an intrepid investigation into the myriad economic and environmental ramifications of water-borne cargo shipping. Freighters may have become seemingly innocuous fixtures in Vancouver’s waters, but the inner workings of the industry remain shrouded in secrecy. Given that 90% of everything we consume arrives via ship, this is essential viewing for us all.
