"There's no security in this country, no police, no protection for the humble part of society."The documentary shows riots, protests, and interviews with the Venezuelans taking a stand to bring about change. It also shows resistance to these riots and protests by the current corrupt government system.
The documentary conveys many emotions and ideas throughout. The common themes include all of the following: political unrest, dissatisfaction, fear, isolation, guilt, and loss. The political state has lead to all of these feelings as a collective country. The political unrest and dissatisfaction are what cause the people to riot and protest for the rights they deserve. The ideas of fear, isolation, guilt and loss all stem from their current situations. One man in the video says something to the effect of, they only want peace in the cemetery. This shows the fear for their lives and their feelings of isolation. As a nation they feel secluded and misrepresented by their government. As the United Nations describes them as the, "world's murder capital" we can only imagine the feelings of loss that they have and the guilt they feel for not bringing about change earlier. Out of all the themes in this documentary I believe loss is the most important. Losing family members can be very traumatic, but losing your own life can break the hearts of the loved ones around you. What do you believe is the most important theme in the documentary, "Behind the Protests in Caracas: Venezuela Rising?"
I believe loss also the most important topic in this video. It is such a hard thing to go through when you lose a loved one. Could you imagine going through such a rough time like the people of Venezuela do along with losing loved ones?
ReplyDeleteNo Ant I couldn't, it really must be a terrible feeling and I hope and pray that the people in Venezuela find the strength to overcome the problems and loss they are going through
ReplyDeleteI agree with what your saying how loss is the most important thing and it is heartbreaking what the families have to go through. I also think that the protestors in Venezuela are the ones that are causing all these problems and making it worse for the government to take their side. Is it the government causing the loss or is it the protestors?
