Vancouver:
The Old Man and Jesus: Prophets of Rebellion
Part of the August 15 International Day of Solidarity with Venezuela. Join us to celebrate the 2nd anniversary of the referendum victory!
“The Old Man and Jesus: Prophets of Rebellion” is a new documentary film by Venezuelan film maker Marcelo Andrade (of the Calle y Media collective), whose “Venezuela Bolivariana” has opened the eyes of thousands of people to the reality and importance of the Venezuelan Revolution. This 70 minute film offers a unique perspective on the Bolivarian revolutionary process: it follows the lives of two men who live on the streets of Caracas in the middle of the bosses’ oil industry lockout in late 2002. The wisdom of the Old Man and the explosive passion of Jesus give a direct account of the commitment to liberation that grows from the Venezuelan people. This film is a documented-prophecy of the rebellion that minute-to-minute is silently planned below the bridges and sewers of a world that sooner or later will rise for justice.
