\u00bfQu\u00e9 determina realmente las oportunidades que tenemos en la vida? \u00bfC\u00f3mo influyen el lugar donde nacemos, las relaciones que construimos y las barreras, visibles e invisibles, en nuestras trayectorias?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the film The game of life<\/mark><\/a><\/em>*, we are launching a new video podcast that sparks conversations about inequality, social mobility, early childhood, classism, education, privilege, and territorial issues in Colombia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In each episode, Leopoldo Fergusson\u2014professor of economics and co-director of TREES\u2014 and Andr\u00e9s Ruiz\u2014Director of Communications at Uniandes and director of the film\u2014talk with researchers, teachers, artists, and individuals with diverse life experiences to explore how inequalities permeate daily life and shape people\u2019s opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The podcast takes as its point of departure the real stories portrayed in the documentary film The game of life<\/em>, una pel\u00edcula construida durante m\u00e1s de 14 a\u00f1os siguiendo la vida de familias colombianas en distintos lugares del pa\u00eds. A partir de esas historias, las conversaciones conectan experiencias personales, investigaci\u00f3n y cine para reflexionar sobre las m\u00faltiples dimensiones de la desigualdad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The videopodcast of The game of life<\/em> seeks to create a space to think about the country from different perspectives and open conversations that often remain outside the public debate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*The film is based on the research of the Colombian Longitudinal Survey (ELCA)<\/mark><\/a> of the School of Economics at the Universidad de los Andes. The ELCA followed 10,000 families for more than a decade to better understand the dynamics of poverty and inequality in Colombia.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
