The film on how Venezuela's destiny changed because of oil | Video

Caracas, Jul 28 (EFE), (Camera: Jackdwin Saez / Henry Chirinos) - It is the first quarter of the 20th century, Venezuela is brimming with oil everywhere, and someone looking at the country from the future wants to warn his ancestors that they are at a crossroads. With no moralizing intended, the soon-to-be-released film "Children of the Earth" paints this dystopian picture.

The epic Venezuelan production will be released in September, with a script that began to be written in 1995, filmed 20 years later and will reach theaters after a pandemic and with several of its authors and protagonists deceased, among them its director, Jacobo Penzo.

"That day that well burst, Venezuela stopped being an agrarian country and became an oil country", says the film's executive producer, Sergio Curiel.
