Colombia uncovers the horrors of its past.

Swiss photographer Luca Zanetti accompanied a team of forensic anthropologists researching the remains of thousands of victims of the civil strife in the country that lasted more than half a century.

Using information gathered after the demobilisation of the paramilitaries, more than 350 bodies were recovered between 2008 and 2010. They were found at different remote locations across Colombia.
