00:00:00.001 --> 00:00:03.587
In 1975 to 1990, the long civil war,

2
00:00:03.612 --> 00:00:05.464
nobody wants to speak of it.

3
00:00:05.489 --> 00:00:11.476
I thought that if I stayed
silent, it would be a worse sin

4
00:00:11.501 --> 00:00:14.722
than what I did during the
war because I had to tell

5
00:00:14.747 --> 00:00:18.987
the younger generations
that, come on: we,

6
00:00:19.012 --> 00:00:22.659
I and my generation maybe did mistakes.

7
00:00:22.684 --> 00:00:25.146
Don't repeat them.
Please don't repeat them.

8
00:00:25.171 --> 00:00:31.178
Go and check to see if what you
hear about the other is true or not.

9
00:00:31.203 --> 00:00:32.819
And try dialogue

10
00:00:32.844 --> 00:00:39.185
again and again and again
and never never use violence

11
00:00:39.202 --> 00:00:43.735
because it's useless and it
will lead to nothing, you know.

12
00:00:43.760 --> 00:00:47.515
It will kill people.
It will destroy a country

13
00:00:47.540 --> 00:00:51.301
and it will lead to nothing at all.
