Join BOOKSTORM as we dive down deep with author Juan Gabriel Vasquez into his epic yet intimate novel about a Colombian man caught up in the sweep of global historical and ideological revolutions.The Colombian film director, Sergio Cabrera, is in Barcelona for a retrospective of his work. It's a hard time for him: his father, famous actor Fausto Cabrera, has just died; his marriage is in crisis; and his home country has rejected peace agreements that might have ended more than fifty years of war. Topics: Political upheaval, extreme ideologies and the power of the every-day citizen. Is film and all art used for propaganda or as a tool for shedding the light on devastating impacts of political turmoil? the importance and relevance of parent/child relationships. How do we break away from parental respect long enough to find our own truths? Is any person immune to war and uprising, whether they agree to partake or not? Join this important discussion!
