En una hora de duración, “Fuga de las FARC” se enfoca en la increíble historia de supervivencia de Jhon Pinchao, narrando detalladamente su plan de fuga de un campamento situado en la selva de Vaupés (departamento situado al este de Colombia que limita con Brasil), hasta que se encontró con un Comando Jungla de la Dirección Nacional de la Policía Colombiana, en mayo de 2007.

Jhon Pinchao is an amazing character and his escape and the information gave Colombian authorities helped lead to a number of Govt victories over FARC.

The pictures I saw of him were of an *extremely* thin person-I hope he's managed to gain back some weight, regain his health and find some peace and rest.
