Hugo George is one of the hundreds of social leaders who have been murdered in Colombia during its peace process. He was also my friend.

I met Hugo on a beautiful afternoon in late October of 2017 on his beloved 800-hectare farm of Manzanares located just outside of the mountain village of El Aro in the municipality of Ituango, Antioquia.
