00:00A jungle that has no end.
00:09You feel the power that nature has.
00:16Now there is a missing aircraft.
00:18On board are four indigenous children and their mother.
00:21And I got scared.
00:23A dense jungle.
00:25An inhospitable jungle.
00:31Immediately all the orders were activated.
00:36It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
00:39As a father, I felt quite powerless.
00:44We found the plane.
00:46And we identified, suddenly, small bodies.
00:50Like this, man.
00:52The children are not there.
00:54Today, 85 indigenous people joined the rescue team.
00:58So, as always, we don't underestimate our knowledge.
01:03Many of these indigenous volunteers distrust the army.
01:07They are prepared for war.
01:11But I was never prepared for this mission.
01:16Every territory has its guardians.
01:20The beings that take care of it.
01:23Why don't we find the children?
01:25In the jungle.
01:27I was angry.
01:31Things happened there that I still don't have an answer for.
01:37We had to change the strategy.
01:39For several days now, there is no proof that the children are alive.
01:43Brother, have faith.
01:49Entire Colombian families are aware of this news.
01:53We are going to rescue our four minors.
01:58The family asked me, General, until when are you going to stop?
02:02I said, until we find them.
