Approximately a decade prior, Great Uncle Carlos was forced into hiding after militia men threatened to kill him and his family if he didn’t transport soldiers into a neighboring city. After being a target of the FARC and the Colombian government, he had no choice but to flee his home. Now that the region is much safer, he stands proud to be back with his family. Digital Print.
