Medellin, the capital of Columbia is a city of gangs and drugs, but also of refugees. The country, which is a victim of armed conflict, is allegedly home to around 4 million domestic refugees.

With the new law on compensation for victims, hope seems to be permitted once again for these refugees. They can now have the possibility of leaving their ramshackle huts to return to their original rural areas.

Martha Martinez, her husband and children fled the countryside because of combats fanned by guerrillas. Refugees in their own country, they survive on a pittance from odd jobs. For three years, her family has been living in a tiny room, with no windows. Martha dreams of returning to her village, and opening a stationery shop in her mother's house.
