ONCE UPON A TIME IN VENEZUELA

ONCE UPON A TIME IN VENEZUELA

At the edge of Venezuela’s Lake Maracaibo is the small floating village of Congo Mirador. Now sinking into sediment, this once-prosperous fishing community is unraveling after years of criminal pollution and government neglect. Focusing on two fierce, independent women who epitomize opposing sides of this vulnerable community, Anabel Rodríguez Ríos’s film is a stunning microcosm of a global battle to safeguard cultural heritage and retain political relevancy.  

This film has English language closed captioning available.  For more information about closed captions and accessibility at DOC NYC, please click here.
