Violence and Forgiveness in Colombia

San Carlos town experienced horror during the civil war, now reconciliation is underway

San Carlos is a small town about four hours drive from Medellin in Colombia. It's in a beautiful area but it's also been a place filled with horror - the tragic consequence of the violence inflicted by right-wing paramilitaries and left-wing guerillas. Following a ceasefire, people are returning to San Carlos, and former paramilitaries and guerillas are living next door to their victims. Our reporter Dimitri O'Donnell has been to meet them.
