Luis Javier Botero grew up in Medellin, Colombia, amid rampant violence of drug-lords and a political guerilla army. Yet he went on to become the Nonviolence Advisor to Guillermo Gaviria Correa, Governor of Antioquia, a region of Colombia. Correa was on a peace march when he was kidnaped by FARC guerrillas and later killed during an attempt to rescue him. This event shaped Luis' life by making him even more deeply committed to nonviolent action. Here Luis explains why a killing free world is entirely possible and why he is convinced that nonviolence will be the lasting legacy of the 21st century.
