Dicen en Colombia que los nacidos allá vienen al mundo sabiendo que lo abandonarán de forma violenta. Conscientes de que, seguramente, su final no será plácido sino todo lo contrario: rápido y contundente como el disparo seco de un arma de fuego. Otros muchos aseguran lo contrario y achacan todo a los estereotipos que, en su opinión, flagelan al pueblo colombiano.
Tribeca: Paraiso Travel ReviewBy Ontheweb Tuesday, April 29, 2008
Already a hit in its native Colombia, Paraiso Travel tackles the issues about immigration that America, with all its conflicted ideas about immigrant labor, can’t bear to address itself. A saga about two lovers making the perilous journey to New York City, and the even greater dangers they face one they arrive, the movie is bleak and unflinching while leaving room for hope for its beleaguered migrants. It doesn’t hurt that the cast mostly consists of gorgeous people, but to director Simon Brand’s credit, he isn’t afraid to let them be ugly either.
Sofia Vergara BiographyBy Ontheweb Thursday, April 24, 2008
This Colombian export was born on July 10, 1972, in Barranquilla, Colombia. ‘’La Toti’’, as her family referred to her, was extremely close to her family, which consisted of five brothers and sisters and many cousins.
A quiet child, Sofia studied a lot and took school very seriously. When her nose wasn’t in the books, she surrounded herself with music, whether it was watching her family singing, dancing and playing instruments, or listening to her favorite group Menudo (Ricky Martin’s claim to fame before he was Livin’ la Vida Loca).

The 12 surviving Aztec crystal skulls are cherished by museums, revered by New-Age writers, and have a starring role in Harrison Ford’s new movie. There’s just one problem: they are fakes, say French experts.
A drastic title change may be needed for the much-awaited, new Indiana Jones movie, which comes out next month.

For my new film Paraiso Travel, I became fluent in Spanish, lived in Bogota, and helped set up an Educational Film channel in the country. I’ve always had a secret desire to make films regarding the experiences of Colombians and other Hispanics because of my own experiences in their countries. Unfortunately, all Hollywood had been making were films about drug dealing, as if that was the only significant activity below our borders.
Colombian clam diggers’ livelihoods under siegeBy Ontheweb Tuesday, April 15, 2008
TUMACO, COLOMBIA—After a lifetime spent digging for black clams in the swamps that line the coast here, Clojilda Velasco remembers when she could count on finding 400 a day. Now she’s lucky if she gets 100. But she still shares when one of the other women comes up salado, or unlucky.
Oil spills, industrial pollution, drug traffickers and over-harvesting are quickly reducing the clam population in the mangroves of Tumaco and snuffing out the livelihoods of Velasco and other extremely poor families who depend on the mollusks for their subsistence.

The last time I was in Colombia, seven years ago, the guerrillas in the hills outside Bogotá were setting up roadblocks every night. They would stop motorists and brazenly run computer checks on their bank accounts. Those with enough money were held for ransom. Americans, presumed to be rich, would be kidnapped as a matter of course.
