Solidarités international

Season 5

Colombia

On the road with the caminantes

For the 5th season of its humanitarian web series, De Vos Propres Yeux*, SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL is taking the positive and inspiring influencer Julie Bourges, aka "Douze Fevrier", to Colombia on the road with the "caminantes", Venezuelans who have fled, on foot, from the serious politico-economic crisis in their home country. Neighbouring Colombia is sometimes their final destination and sometimes a stopover before they head to another country. On their way, shelters run by local volunteers offer them something to survive on. What is the daily life of these "caminantes " like? What are their stories? And who are the people who come to their aid, sometimes risking their lives? Through her encounters, Julie shows you solidarity on a road made up of disillusionment and hope. *With Your Own Eyes
