When the news reporter was referring to the Guerilla's who were waging war in the jungle all through my childhood, I used to watch the television closely waiting to catch a glimpse. I had this idea that it was a bit Planet of the Apes in that part of the world.
The news only ever showed footage of people though and I guess I just assumed they were the army out hunting the Guerilla's.
