Colombia(85 images)
Colombia has become synonymous with drug trafficking and violence. Each year thousands are killed, thousands more kidnapped and over 2 million have been displaced by the conflict.

In late 2001, Jason began work on an independent project to document the conflict that has torn Colombia apart for decades. This work will culminate in a book which is close to publication.
