A La Calle is a firsthand account of the extraordinary efforts of ordinary Venezuelans to reclaim their democracy from the dictatorship of Nicolás Maduro, whose corrupt and brutal policies have plunged the country into economic ruin. Working with a network of clandestine camera crews, the filmmakers spent three years recording exclusive interviews with key opposition figures including Leopoldo López -- whose arrest and imprisonment inspired a national movement -- and grassroots activist Nixon Leal, as well as a host of everyday citizens. As acting interim President Juan Guaidó works to rally international opposition to the Maduro regime, the corrupt dictator and his allies tighten their hold over a nation already crippled by hyperinflation, blocking life-saving humanitarian aid and repressing dissent with politically motivated arrests, torture and killings. A La Calle captures the remarkable courage of the Venezuelan people as they unite to restore liberty to their country.

It's a messy, unresolved situation this rather cluttered film doesn't always clarify, and perhaps it can't. Still, it offers some illumination.

The filmmakers' intimate, on-the-ground access to the protests and players of the Venezuelan presidential crisis is the best asset they've got.

The Film Experience

Maxx Caicedo and Nelson G. Navarrete's film gets up close and personal within the protests, the political turmoil and the familial anguish that has engulfed the Central American nation now for years.

Lots of street action but without an explanation on why the people of Venezuela believe their support of a different president would make a dent toward solving their problems.

Rated: C

Venezuela's tragic situation from the point of view of different real life, every day people... It is An apt vehicle to understand the struggle of the opposition and it is the right medium to show that the fight is not about democracy vs. socialism, or right vs. left but an actual situacion of a country that is kidnapped by narco-terrorists. Powerful and informative. A must see...

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
