Port of Destiny: Peace

< Return to program

Running time: 52 mins

A leader puts aside politics for human good.

This inspiring film tells the incredible story of a leader who sacrificed his politics, his wellbeing, and his office for the good of the people. Colombia has been at war for most of its history. Civil War with the FARC and the constant danger of the drug cartels became the international calling card of one of the most beautiful nations in Central America. President Juan Manuel Santos sought to change all of that, eventually negotiating a peace accord and being awarded the Nobel Prize for doing it! Told through interviews with leaders like former President Bill Clinton and British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Port of Destiny: Peace looks at how a former war hawk turned his attention to promoting peace and came away as one of the most successful presidents in modern history. There is hope for peace, and this film is proof. – Chris Garcia
