FIRST FILM
Once Upon a Time in Venezuela
Anabel Rodríguez Ríos
On Lake Maracaibo, the village of Congo Mirador is preparing for parliamentary elections. Chavist party representative Tamara fights for each vote by all means while opposition-supporting teacher Natalie is about to be forced from her job and little Yoaini sees her community and childhood sinking in oily mud. A story of corruption, pollution and decay – a reflection of Venezuela today.
