BriefExplanation

In Colombia there are policemen and soldiers who have been kidnapped for more than 12 years. They don´t know what has happened to their families or their country, they only find out about news that the guerilla wants them to hear. In an effort to speak directly to their men, and considering that radio is the only means of communication, a song was created which contained a hidden message of combat in the chorus written in Morse code.* You and 15 more brave men to be rescued. Have courage!* 19 freed you´re next. Keep your spirits up!!

ScriptInEnglish

The next song was specially made for kidnapped soldiers and policemen in Colombia, in between the core scored a message supported in Morse code can be heard, for example the message : “19 people rescued, you’re next , don’t lose hope” was read in Morse code and then recomposed as music inside the song. SFX: MORSE CODESONG EXCERPT: I want to keep on fighting For my family, my friends, my childrenI will soon see you againI’m sure better days are comingA new dawn singing this songFrom my heartAnd if this song is leading me to you, listen to this message, brotherA new dawn singing this songFrom my heartAnd if this song is leading me to you, listen to this message, brother
