Colombia: Peace through Soccer

Medellín, in Colombia, is an incredibly dangerous city. Rightist and leftist groups as well as gangs terrorize the locals. The methods learned from "Fútbol por la Paz" have shown us ways of escaping the spiral of violence. Together with friends, John Jairo organizes soccer matches in order to make peace in the slums of Medellín.
