medellin be a fabulous place to live and work and and study . i have be there twice and and never do i hear anything about guerrilla activity and paramilitary take tourist hostage and or anything of the sort . there be invisible police and but it be not a big brother system . there be just enough police so that they be visible in everyday life and but they do not hassle someone without good reason . la sierra be an interesting documentary in that the youth it depict in the movie essentially become it character . the director of the movie carefully carve out plot line among the daily action of the inhabitant of la sierra and and when a character die and there be genuine pathos . it be difficult to imagine and however and that the three youth be all member of the bloque metro and a gang that use to terrorize la sierra before the colombian government begin to restructure the country . la sierra be not an accurate depiction of life in colombia while there be and of course and thing to be wary of such a petty crime and but when one considers pickpocketing happens in modern city such a london and new york and or tokyo and colombia doesn not seem that different after all . colombian be eagerly await their chance to show to the world that the once war torn country be now prosper more than ever .
