Yolanda Ruiz in conversation with Andrea Díaz Cardona

The emotional scars of war: those left behind

Jericó 2026, 

Those who are surrounded by violence end up with scars. Violence kills but it also harms in many other ways. In Los que quedan,Yolanda Ruiz looks at the survivors, those who carry the physical and emotional burdens of violent events: a girl obsessed with revenge, a woman who decides to kill her children and commit suicide, a man who has been looking for his twin brother who disappeared 39 years ago… Testimonies to reflect on the need to attend to the mental health of a country afflicted by violence. In conversation with Andrea Díaz Cardona.
