First in an unusual new series of five dramatised stories for Global Report, this film is based on the lives of people living in the shanty towns which encircle the city of Bogota, capital of Colombia.
The people themselves are the actors and the story they tell is of Nada, a mother struggling to find her two lost children and to build a better life for her family.
Despite impoverished living conditions, the actors portray their lives with pride and dignity. The programme team have collaborated with them to tell this moving story. Film editor SUSAN SPIVEY

1: Chichester, Sussex
Seven years ago Alec Clifton -Taylor began the first of a series of programmes about the architecture of small
English towns. It was a great success. A second and third series followed, perhaps reaching larger audiences than had ever watched architecture on television.
A fourth was being planned when Alec Clifton-Taylor died last month. He said that making TV programmes gave him enormous pleasure. It could scarcely equal the pleasure that he gave to his public.
In tribute to a great enthusiast, and a scholarly and deeply knowledgeable man, BBC2 is repeating all 18 programmes beginning with his first - Chichester, where 'brick and flint give the town its essential character, the right materials in the right place, a perfect pattern of English building.'
The distillation of a lifetime of study . a delight (DAILY TELEGRAPH)
