Bogota's notorious criminal enclave, known as El Bronx, fell after an hours long face off between police and the ruthless gangs that ran the district as an open air drug market. In the aftermath of the operation hundreds of abducted minors were found as were ghoulish torture chambers, and the thousand homeless people who resided semipermanently in El Bronx were once again cast onto the streets of the Colombian capital.

Green Falcon- In my country, the Ford Falcon generates fanatism to some and terror to others. In the 60s it became the typical mid-class family car. But as of 1976, this was the favorite car used by the military dictatorship to kidnap their victims. For thousands of abductees, those big trunks were their last contact with the free world. As of today, many of them are still oficially catalogued as missing persons ("desaparecidos").
