Stories of Impact brings back some of our favorite conversations this season. This time, we travel to Medellín, Colombia, to meet Dr. Santiago Tobón. He has dedicated his life to understanding the structures and societal role of Medellín’s criminal gangs, why teenagers want to join them, and how to help them see that a lawful life can be prosperous, too.
