Once Upon a Time in Venezuela
Directed by Anabel Rodríguez Ríos
Produced by Spiraleye Productions, Women Make Movies
A melancholic documentary portrait of a Venezuelan village's decline, using intimate observation to reflect on broader social collapse and loss.
Once upon a time, the Venezuelan village of Congo Mirador was prosperous, alive with fisherman and poets. Now it is decaying and disintegrating—a small but prophetic reflection of Venezuela itself.
