Recopilación de testimonios sobre la migración en el municipio de Frontino

Resumen

This work was based on consulting the history that Frontino had in a lamentable time for its inhabitants, and which has been overcome little by little. This history and this period is the one that had to do with one of the great migrations that the municipality had in the 90's, beginning of 2000, and that is presented today with some sectors of the population located in the sidewalks of the area. The theme was chosen because it is something that cannot be forgotten in history, and it is that although they have been hard days and moments for many families, they are times that marked a before in the history of Colombia, of Antioquia, and of the locality. It is for this reason that it was decided to focus on the theme with the intention of gathering those testimonies of so many victims who wanted to share the tragedies they witnessed at that time. What they narrate are tragedies and stories that have already died for many of them, but that will never be forgotten. And it is this phrase that marks and symbolizes the research done, because the idea is to build a short documentary where these people tell why they were victims of that time of migration, and why their stories and moments should remain in the books of Antioquian, and even Colombian, history. To understand how migration can represent so much violence, so much blood, so much misfortune, so many sacrifices; but that in spite of this, nothing was imposed on the happiness and reconstruction of a thriving people who were willing to displace the war from their lands. Today those mountains where for so many years there were guerrillas of the FARC, ELN, and several other terrorists, are lands that represent not only the tradition of Antioquia, but also the tradition of the frontier. There, the tradition of panela, cultivation, cattle raising, mining, fishing and many other activities came back to life. Today, they are once again at the top of this town, where hope and desire were able to defeat the violence and migration of a few years ago.
