Filmmaker Lorena Colmenares hails from Venezuela... so one can understand a little more of what is going on in this short movie. The boy actor is marvellous, conveying angst and confusion most wonderfully. A fascinating - and somewhat disturbing - film. I hope you find it as compelling a watch as I have.

I'll return to this in the evening. The first part I watched is staying with me. Yes, it's gripping, I think.

ReplyDeleteThe little boy seemed to happy to be giving the speech, he looked very scared. Take care, have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteIt’s disturbing indeed, yet in so many ways true to the world around us.

ReplyDeleteHere in the UK we don't hear enough from Venezuela. I became more aware of the political situation there when, in my last job, I had several Venezuelan colleagues, some of whom were dealing with elderly parents who had fled the country and descended on them for an indefinite period.
