Details

This 70 min. documentary examines the lives of two men who lived on the streets of Caracas in the middle of a fascist offensive that tried to halt the revolutionary process taking place in Venezuela, which was fueled with the arrival of Hugo Chavez to the presidency. The wise poetry of the Old Man and the explosive verb of Jesus give a direct account of the commitment to liberation that grows from the Venezuelan people, far beyond the influence of leaders or enlightened vanguards.

"This film is a documented prophecy of the rebellion that minute-to-minute is silently planned below the bridges and sewages of a world that sooner or later will rise in thirst for justice."

In Spanish, with English subtitles.
