After a lifetime of battle, nearly 10,000 FARC combatants are preparing to leave their jungle strongholds and return to Colombian society, but will a war-weary Colombia accept them? Strangers to Peace chronicles the challenges of reintegrating rebel fighters into a society that views them as terrorists. The narrative is told through the eyes of three former FARC guerrillas currently undergoing reintegration: Dayana (47), the market vendor negotiating the stigma of her guerrilla past and her new identity as a transgender woman; Ricardo (26), the government employee who secretly maintains his communist ideology; and Alexandra (21), the indigenous woman yearning to reconnect with the family and tribe she left behind as a child soldier. In its watershed moment Colombia is documented through these characters: both they and the country reimagine their identities after living through a lifetime of war.
