6/11/1985. Bogotá, Colombia.

 

Early in the siege of the Palace of Justice, the M-19 Marxist guerrilla’s plans to hold the Supreme Court hostage and hold a trial against President Belisario Betancur begin to fall apart.  A group of insurgents, including some badly injured men, find themselves trapped and forced to take refuge in a washroom of the Palace with over 50 hostages, all of whom must endure nearly twenty-seven hours of brutal clashes with the State’s Armed Forces.
