Argument for movie.

October 30, 2018. It was 1:00 p.m. in the class with Mr Bryan and  saw the movie AKKELAH, remember what happened in my country. In one moment of the movie, when two men’s in a car approach Akkelah and brother, I thought were going to kidnap them, because in my country to teach and study, it can cost us our lives.

Remember as the Dr  Larabee represent the constancy to achieve a dream; it represents in the film what it coast to get our students to really study and more important; the liberty in this country for study and teach.

I star to remember and see myself in my country the day October 30, 2001. It was 8:30 p.m. I was walking through Villa luz Park northeast of Bogota, Colombia. Two cars approached and suddenly braked and out of one of them came two men who pointed a gun at me. One of them pulled me to the right and forced me to get in the car.

The two cars started with me inside and without a word they put a black bag on my head that did not allow me to see anything. For two hours I felt we were moving. I just repeated to myself over and over again in my head: In god I trust!, In god I trust!.

The car stopped and the bag was removed from my head. The same man who had. Gotten into the car, I got off and taking me right, entered a dark house. He opened a room and pushed me in and closed the door again.

They spent about three hours and a man deseed as a solder entered and said: You are  leaving the country or we will kill you. He went to close the door. Repeated always in my head:  ! In god I trust  !.

I remember in this moment how I taught women in prison how to writed complaints of rape and physical abuse suffered in their prison.

They spent about three hours more and another man came in and put at black bag in my head again so I would not see anything. We left the room and went back to the car. They ignited the car and again it happened like three hours and they stopped. The man grabbed my arm again and said: ! Do not give more writing classes to those malparidos or you die! After that I took off the iron ties and I got into the car.

I walked until I found a road where I picked up a bus that to me to Bogota for free. I called my brother, I told him what had happened and it was for me. After that, after that I called my wife who was pregnant and told her to pack up that we were leaving the country. I went to my house for my wife and my stepson, some money and clothes. My brother took us to the airport in Bogota. When we arrived we bought tickets and fly to Costa Rica.

November 1,2001. We arrived in San Jose, Costa Rica at 10:00 a.m. We stayed in a hotel in downtown San Jose. November 2.2001. We present ourselves to Migration and requested refuge. It was delivered to us after a month of requesting it.

Marz 3.2002 I star working at the Technology Institute of Costa Rica in Cartago as professor and promotion Culture and finally In this country my only daughter was born on June 2,2002.
