Colombian journalist Juan Pablo Bieri hosts the series, which focuses on the struggle for survival of individuals persecuted for their work in human rights, their role in Colombia's armed conflict, or for corruption and drug trafficking. Issues such as land confiscation, urban subcultures and a journalist threatened for exposing corruption will be addressed in the eight-episode series designed to make viewers reflect on life and death, victims and perpetrators. TruTV hopes the eight episodes, consistent with the channel's unique concept of entertainment, can give viewers an idea of the experiences, emotions and impact on real life situations in a documentary-style series of programs featuring stories shot on site and real people involved in extraordinary situations with unexpected outcomes.

 |   Two Colombian Cities in Top Ten American Cities for Foreign Direct Investment FDI Intelligence, published yearly by Britain's Financial Times newspaper, listed Cali and Barranquilla among the Top 10 American Cities of the Future for foreign direct investment. This distinction was achieved after competing with 126 cities in North and South America including Montreal and Toronto (Canada), Chicago and Phoenix (USA), Guadalajara (Mexico), Buenos Aires (Argentina), Managua (Nicaragua) and Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). The cities selected by the newspaper stand out for their investment, economic potential, human resources, infrastructure, and business friendliness. Although Bogotá and Barranquilla were listed previously, this is the first time for Cali. The capital of the Valle del Cauca department has opened itself to the world with events such as the Pacific Alliance Summit, the 2013 World Games, considered the most important sports competition after the Olympics, and the Third World Summit of Leaders of African Descent, which will welcome presidents from five African countries and some 500 mayors. The publication's 2013-2014 list included Barranquilla and Cali as numbers eight and ten, respectively, while Bogota and Pereira were also among the 126.
