The red cloth in Colombia that hang out of people’s windows are silent cries for help. In lockdown, the nation’s poor are starving, and the red flag lets others know that this is a household that is going hungry. Claudia Lopez, Bogota’s first female mayor, launched an appeal for donations, and neighbors are banding together to bring help to those who need it the most. The film follows the struggle of Vladimir Rodriguez, the high commissioner for peace in Bogota, as he and his team struggle to bring food to those who need it most during the early days of the pandemic.
