🇻🇪 Venezuela: Smuggling Dreams | Witness | Sueños de Contrabando
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 сен 2024
- Far away from Venezuela's capital Caracas lies a coastal town struggling to feed itself. Cradled in the Gulf of Paria, the town survives on fishing, but almost everything else is smuggling to its shores from neighbouring Trinidad.
With no end in sight to the country's political and economic crises under President Nicolas Maduro, Jhan Lopez is growing more desperate by the day.
The 28-year-old fisherman and his family had expected that the government would continue to send food and other necessities to his town, but nothing has arrived in months and Jhan has lost faith that it ever will.
A single-father, Jhan is looking for alternative means to provide for his daughter and diabetic father and decides to try and join the smuggling trade, but many challenges lie between him and the sacks of rice and medicine that he badly needs.
------------------------
Lejos de Caracas, la capital de Venezuela, se ubica un pueblo costero que lucha por sobrevivir. Situado en el Golfo de Paria, este lugar sobrevive de la pesca pero casi todo lo demás proviene del contrabando que llega a sus costas desde la vecina Trinidad.
Sin una solución a la vista en la crisis política y económica del gobierno del presidente Nicolás Maduro, la angustia de Jhan Lopez aumenta día a día.
Este pescador de 28 años y su familia esperaban que, como solía hacerlo, el gobierno enviara alimentos y otros productos a su pueblo pero han pasado meses, nada ha llegado y Jhan ha perdido la esperanza.
Es un padre soltero que busca la forma de sostener a su menor hija y atender a su padre diabético. Jhan decide ingresar al comercio de contrabando. Pero debe superar los muchos obstáculos que se interponen entre él y los sacos de arroz y medicinas que tanto necesita.

This was a very good documentary. Makes you think of the extremes ppl will do just fot the things we take for granted. I hope things get better
THE OPPOSITION MADE EVERYONE SUFFER
lol yeah sure, let's not forget the millions of dollars that the corrupt regime have stolen from the nation
WHO STOLE WHAT? WHO SAID THAT?
You dont have to think to hard on that one lets see, Rafael ramires stole millions of dollars of PDVS, Jesse chacon, dont forget the odebrech affair, that case is still spilling names of corrupt politicians etc...
Salmen
no proof they stole millions this is just opposition propaganda trying make themselves look clean
This man is carrying a heavy weight on his shoulders. He really impresses me with his determination. His family is his life. Hope it all changes for you and you all can have plenty to eat and medicine for your papa. ❤

william polo valerio ??
YES there is an influx of Venezuelans here in Trinidad but they are our neighbours, yes we have always had strained relations but they are our neigbours. We Trinis went to Caracas and margarita to shop years before. They need our help, we are in a recession but we live more comfortably than most.
your comments match your name....I never said about taking them into our home but we could offer more understanding of their plight rather than bitchy senseless insular comments...like yours
Well said.
Ignore the haters and the naysayers ... they'll bray no matter what ... it's in their nature.
so just let dem in right ? forget bout who's your neighbor and study you're own house
they're suffering but yet are being caught in Trinidad almost every week for drugs , guns and prostitution
Letting them in to stay is not the solution , giving them assistance with food and other basic necessities.
If they don't smash their Government, they won't have any future.
I hope they paid him for his story, it would help him alot.
A couple of dollars will last him a month

ISaidIt 2 Of course there is. They’re still alive aren’t they? It’s just that the cost is more than most people can afford, and the quantities are limited to what can be smuggled in.
I am a trini seeing this change my mind about the way I look at them..my heart goes out to them .
What a wonderful Daddy this man is. I love how his daughter follows him all around the house. He is going straight to heaven one day. God bless the beautiful Venezuelan people. They deserve so much better.
I'm from Trinidad. We're facing our own problems. High prices, poor economy, unstable governments, out of control crime, poor Healthcare ethnic tensions, lack of foreign exchange and unemployment. Our borders are barely patrolled. Now we have a massive influx of Venezuelans to deal with.
Consome Deguacuco I have no idea what you are talking about. I don't mind if you come and be honest and do honest work. But many of you are committing crimes. Our own crime rate is horrible already
Prayers from Canada 🇨🇦, we see the news and can't believe how horrible things have gotten for Venezuela, and Trinadad, by the sounds of it. When people are without food they become desperate and do things Morally questionable. I'm sure Venezuelans don't mean to impose, but they're suffering and desperate, and unfortunately when people become desperate they do criminal acts (when The same person maybe 10 years ago would've never thought about doing crime.) but because they are desperate, they are doing the unimaginable!! Is it right? No. I can understand when it comes to feeding your family people will go to extremes to get their needs met. I feel sorry for both Trinidad and Venezuela,. But I understand why things are happening the way they are. That man was risking his life to feed his daughter, may God bless him and Venezuela 🇻🇪😢
What you have said about the Venezuelan leadership may be true ... but why are you blaming the ordinary Venezuelan (you wrote "Venezuelans have taken advantage of our goodwill")?
Are you saying we should turn a blind eye to the suffering of the children, the sick and the poor?
As for "undocumented" where did you get this figure from?
I'd really like to know.
This is why we need a President Trump to deport those Venezuelans. We Trinis cannot be fixing their problems.
Monster X and this is facts agreed.. if u check the comments u will see my view on this!
Gracias por no censurar la verdad de mi país
Fracaszes mierda jajaja
I wish I could just send them money. I swear this makes me sick. I could feed the whole town for a month for $100
the problems inst just the money the problem is there arent enough goods to buy
@Wally Reyes how do you send it to him?
Are u sure u will send them
They need change not money
SURE SURE MISS GOOD HEART.$100 WHAT U HAVE WITH EXCHANGE BE DEVALUE 2/3. DO YOU NOTICE..THE SAME STARCH .DIVERSIFICATION OF EASIER GROWTH FOOD NEVER CROSS MIND
TOO MANY KEEP THE SAME PALLET FOR TOO LONG.CHICKEN CORDON BLU TASTE LIKE GARBAGE TO HIM
POTATOES WOULD LOVE THAT CLIMATE
TOO MANY CULTURES STICK TO ONE THING
I CAN GROW ANYTHING IN MY BIG HAUS FROM BOUGAINVILLEA TO CYCAD,KALE
I USE MY HAUS AS INDOOR GARDEN BECAUSE I CAN..AFRICA THE SAME THING SAME THING, GOURD AND YAMS .U HAVE THE WEATHER.U COULD HAVE THE BEST HOMEMADE GREENHAUS WITH NO EFFORT..SEEDS OF EASY RETURN. DIVERSIFICATION OF DIET..IVE SEND SEED PACKAGE TO SO MANY
NOT WHAT THEY WANT SERVE NO PURPOSE
GIVE NEW,FORCE TASTE BUDS
Solo en Dios abra vida eterna. El Dolor que veo en los ojos de está pobre gente. Me duele saber que el mundo se olvido que Venezuela. Pero Cristo ya viene por su pueblo encomiéndate a el y tendrás vida eterna.
Al Jazeera has been doing yeomen’s work in reporting on the tragedy in Venezuela. Surprising yet true. Good for them.
eso me pone a llorar muy triste ver persona luchando arriesgando su vida
Years ago, I used to watch this kind of documentary from another countries were in war times. Now, being a Venezuelan that lives a few hours trip from the location where this was filmed, I can say, without a shadow of doubt that what the protagonist is doing is not far from the truth. We, Venezuelans, struggling to live because the politicians we trusted almost 19 years ago, decided to take a route they though it was good. Good for them, but not for the common people. All this disgrace thanks to... well, you know who, the deceased and the bus driver.
Agustin Cesar prayers from Canada 🇨🇦, we see the news and it's beyond shocking!!!! I know Canada has extended it's hand for the Syrian refugees who are fleeing their war torn country, it would also be nice if Canada extended it's hands for the people of Venezuela, offering some refuge from the carnage in Venezuela.
Canada is already funding refugee camps in Brazil. A nice gesture, but the root of the problem remains.
Agustin Cesar go there and help me find this guy! quiero ayudar le
Praying for all of you. God is good 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Socialism/ Communism! We Russians were starving to dead because of it. The same happened in Ukraine ( a nation be called food basket.) China, North Korea, Cuba... Now on you Venezuelans.
Good film. Thx Al Jazeera. The disinterested observer style of journalism is powerful. No comments, just the story. We form our own conclusions, or we don't. Either way, we have experienced his plight, and the plight of the whole Venezuelan population as they live and die in their socialist paradise.
We take everything for granted in the Western world.
Alexander McNeil trinis take things for granted and don't want to work no wonder Venezuelans thiefing their jobs.
I used to. Then I started traveling to other countries. Once you get away from the tourist traps and see how the regular people live, you come home with a different perspective.
True
I swear I Kno I do
Don't get too comfortable. The western world is falling into socialism too. Look what the democrat party of the USA is doing.
Irapa, la ciudad de las puertas, irreconocible por tanta miseria... SOS Venezuela.!!!
animo y fuerza venezuela unidos con venezuela espero se mejora el pais
This story of Venezuela is very sad I hope you all see better days real soon .. love from London England ..👊🏾👊🏾
Is there a way for Trinidadians to send supplies to Jhan and his daughter? His story really rocked me to the core.
JPMOLLINEAU hey. There are NGOs like Is There Not A Cause right here in Trinidad that does constant outreach to places like this (also Haiti, Kenya etc.). Give them a call @ 868-624-4162!
The Venezuelan customs, pirates or military would steal it before it ever gets to him. That's why its been hard for other countries to send assistance.
This is a humanitarian problem the whole world should help.
Call Or Message the REACH Foundation on Whatsapp

jocee lipstickz 2018 the world can’t help because the Maduro government won’t allow aid to enter Venezuela because that would be admitting that there’s a problem. Which according to the Madura government, there isn’t.
I am from Trinidad. Law-abiding Venezuelans who need mercy in Trinidad should be given a break. I can't get Trinis to work as labourers. These Vennies mix concrete, clean drains, mow lawns. Their service is needed. We can't help all, but we can allow some on temporary work permits. Besides, T&T has a long relationship with the people in Venezuela. Trinis marry and live there, and Vennies marry and live here. This has been going on for hundreds of years. We have business relations too...Bermudez Biscuit Company, Angostura Bitters etc.
When society completely breaks down like this, no one has the luxury of being charitable or kind. When your focus is keeping body and soul together, you’ll no longer care about what happens to your neighbors, as long as you get what you and yours need. I don’t judge them. It’s happened throughout history all over the world. This didn’t happen overnight, and it won’t be fixed that way either.
no foods... but there is coconut tree... if you plant veg then u have food...
To put it in perspective, Americans are fighting for $15 an hour, while in Venezuela making a dollar a day is a struggle.
Really makes my heart break
He loves his daughter so much that he took a high risk, just for food.. very sad
I saw this again tonight on Al Jazeera, and unfortunately, things have gotten much worse for the Venezuelans. I'm a true Trinidadian, and I have absolutely no problem helping any that is trying to support and protect their families. Venezuela has rescued Trinidad twice over the decades when we were on the brink of economic collapse. It is fitting that we should be prepared to repay this debt to the people of Venezuela now. For those citizenry of my country, ask yourselves why we cannot help, when we have more than 400,000 people from Africa, India, China, and Caribbean Nations working in TT and expating the Fx as many are claiming. Many of those countries are not our neighbours, and many of the Caribbean countries mentioned, have never stepped in, to assist us when we needed it. There is no reason we cannot help Venezuelans now when they need it the most, absolutely no reason not to help !
When and how did Venezuela help TT? ..Genuinely would like to know.
I don't care whose fault it is. How can we help them ?
A Billy There are NGOs like Is There Not A Cause right here in Trinidad that does constant outreach to places like this (also Haiti, Kenya etc.). Give them a call @ 868-624-4162!
I'm not sure it's possible. A foreign invasion would be really hard. The only hope is for their own military to do something good. That's a long shot.
right. cuz im trying to marry homeboi. i think i just chose 🙂🙄😏
@@bestress04 I smell a con...I've never heard of this organization. And why bring Kenya into this??? Why would a Trinidadian NGO in the Caribbean be giving aid to an East African country with a larger GDP than Trinidad??? And why the phone number??? This is the reason people are reluctant to help those in actual need, because of scammers like yourself!
Jesus ! That’s so sad I never expected to see that ...
Wish all best soon for Venezuela people ...
I want to help ...
Wish you all luck ...
From Albania 🇦🇱
The Venezuelan people should be able to use vacant land to grow crops such as cassava, corn, etc.
Akhmad Hervani Venezuela owes almost every major seed and fertilizer company on the planet. Getting any into the country would be almost impossible. They completely destroyed their commercial agricultural industry when they seized the land from people who knew how to run the business and gave it to people who had no clue. Thus, the food shortage. The same with their healthcare. The country owes millions to pharmaceutical companies that will no longer sell to them.
This is what happened in Zimbabwe and is happening now in South Africa. Steal the land from farmers and give to goverment lackies who do not know how to grow food. Farming is not easy people. You dont just put seeds in the ground and food magically appears. Now everyone starves.
Cuando un hijo llora de hambre, la razón se pierde.
Verdad!
Tan cierto!!!!
They have some of the most fertile soil in the world a almost so why can't they be given seeds to plant food for each family . Just a thought ,well could they .
british kids, remember to look up the clip of Jerry Corbyn congratulating the president live on TV for the socialist victory and to voice his struggle to make britian the same.
Mannnn I'm from Trini , this is very sad my heart goes out to this young man.
He said he would kill a man and rob you if he didn't know you to feed his daughter. I stopped my pity right there.
Why
@persistentlydriven: because its murder? Maybe you wouldn't want to give your life so his kid could have one more bowl of rice. This guy doesn't have sunken cheeks. He looks fairly well fed.
God bless them..
It is sad that an small country like Trinidad has more food than Venezuela.
Why do you ppl think my country has more food we're struggling to we cant get jobs crime is raising and most of the criminals are Venezuelan we're going down the same road as them if this happens to us who's going to help us
Supermarkets not having food and Venezuelans not being able to buy it DOES NOT mean the country doesn't have food. The food is there, but the inflation is so huge that pretty much nobody can afford it, not even simple stuff like bread. With the money they need to spend to buy a kilogram of flour or rise, they used to build a whole house less than a decade ago!! That's how insane it is there!
If Inflation prevents you from being able to buy the food then there is no food available. Eventually, the stores cant replace due to hyper-inflation. 50 percent of gdp is oil. Venezuela based its gov spending or budget as if oil was going to stay at 85$ per barrel. Oil is around 40$ per barrel plus they arent getting as much oil as they used to out of ground due to lack of reinvestment. Compounding the problem exponentially. Do the math... voila hyperinflation.
“No one looks out for each other. Why don’t they sell things for less? Why doesn’t the president intervene? Why isn’t the food shared as it should be?”
Jesus Christ, they really didn’t learn a thing.
Makes me so very sad for them! We as Christians should pray for their country and the poor, the elderly and the children. Makes me wonder what can be done for them from here?
Life in Venezuela cost 20kg of rice...for 20$ he is ready to risk his life getting killed by the pirates. He is doing it for his doughter ...
THIS IS ACCORDING TO FAKE CURRENCY RATES FROM DOLAR TODAY WEBSITE
...then Maburo should produce food at his fixed prices and people will have food at your "normal rate"...communism is a cancer that eats you from inside !
+Consome Deguacuco de que estas hablando, Trinis do not eat or use Harina Pan in their food (daily diet), whoever told you that lied to you, and its Sangre Grande, I'm from both Trini and Vzln parentage so I understand both sides, but the things Venezuelans are doing when they getting to T'dad is not giving them a good name, thats why a lot of Trinis are not willing to help. The women are prostituting and the men are smuggling guns and drugs, they might come with good intention but they do more crime than anything.
Are you implying every single Venezuelan in Trinidad is a criminal? Because I saw many doing honest work, hiding from police because they are all overstaying, no thanks to the socialist gov of Venezuela making it impossible to renew a passport, among other documents needed to formally get a job abroad. Furthermore these people are often exploited and abused, women get raped and killed and many don't report it out of fear of being deported, bad trini people take advantage of them. You had rising criminality before Venezuela collapsed (about 5 years ago). Did you not read the news about the Venezuelan 13yo girl sold as "bride" to a trini man? Criminals are criminals no matter their nationality. Fact is both countries have poor border control, and this pirate activity is the proof. Being an island nation, one would think you would have a much better coast guard presence, among other things.
Those people you are judging are running desperate to their closest neighbor, Venezuela has collapsed and they are emigrating en masse. There is a humanitarian crisis and its not Trinidad & Tobago alone, all the neighbors, such as Brazil and Colombia have been hit hard by waves of Venezuelans desperately fleeing or finding a one month job in a neighbor country that would let them bring food home for the next year. Canada is even funding refugee camps in Brazil because it overwhelmed the local government.
And you can laugh but i know of a Venezuelan getting mugged in Port of Spain, losing 10000 TTD in the process right in front of the Water Terminal security cameras, and yet the police was unable to spot the crime, which was reported a couple of hours after it happened. Those thieves were not Venezuelan at all...
ioan pena
I live in Venezuela and I live like a a queen on the equivalent of Euros 300.00 a month. I guess being a woman makes all the difference.
University is free in Venezuela. Minimum wage is terrible worldwide except in the Nordic countries.
I feel so sorry for his little girl. It must be unbearable for children like her. Hope that aid organizations will come to help them, and Venezuela will soon open up.
I MADURO WILL CLEAR THE MESS BY ELECTION TIME
HAVE THE PETRO KILL THE BLACK MARKET AND BRING STABILITY BACK TO VENEZUELA
¡CÁLLATE! VENDEPATRIA
EL ENCHUFADO ES USTED
EL PETRO ELIMINARÁ EL MERCADO NEGRO Y TRAERÁ LA ESTABILIDAD MUY PRONTO
respondeme vives en venezuela?
VAS A DECIR SOBRE LAS COLAS A LAS TIENDAS Y EL CRIMEN ALLÍ? :)
ya con eso que dices se que no vives aqui, pana seguro tienes plata eso te lo apuesto, vives en un pais que no es socialista, obvio no vives en venezuela, seguro usas ropa de marcas americanas, seguro estas escribiendo desde un celular inteligente japones o americano, seguro hoy comiste tus tres comidas, ya comiste tu cena bien resuelta y tu nevera bien full verdad, te puedo apostar que eres unas de esas personas que viven muy comodas en un pais desarrollado, se quejan de ese pais y sueñan con el che guevara con la revolucion con el socialismo jajaja si tanto amas a chavez vente a vivir tu socialismo como lo vive el 90% de los venezolanos coño e tu madre a ver si lo vas a guantar hijo de puta
This was very deep. Thank you!
I hope the Trinidadians watching this understand that the "coal" he was taking to Trinidad is actually marijuana! That's the only coal that is in high demand in Trinidad and it's partially to blame for the high crime rate and gang violence.
Oh, thanks for clearing that up, cause I was like... coal??
its marijuana and cocaine.
venezolanatrini even worse!
Taslim David Mark I thought everybody wudda understand is hard drugs he talking about.. bout coal 😂😂😂
Taslim David Mark how would you know that?
Praying 🙏 for those in Venezuela 🇻🇪
Now im even more grateful to live in U.S.A i live in texas. And we have a beautiful H-E-B with lots of food. Yea we have our own strughles like finding a good job that pays above minimum wage to even save mkney to vuy my own house. But its still not as bad as how thry are living in Venezuela. I wish things can get better for them.
I think you start farming..start from vegetable to rice etc.
Como quiere a su hijita que Dios me cuide mucho a ese papa de verdad hasta peina a su hijita.😘😘😘🤗🤗🤗🦋🦋🦋🦋
a very good documentary 👍👍👍
Excuse my ignorance but they have a sea in front of them, no one is going to go fishing?
Once again, Al Jazeera brings us the stories that never seem to get told. Many thanks for this documentary.
To all those selfish, callous Dog in the Manger types who are dissing the poor refugees - when T&T finds itself in a similar situation in the aftermath of a major earthquake, hurricane or social implosion and a descent into anarchy - I want to see you turned away when you go seeking refuge or asylum in Uncle Sam's country, and sent back packing to Sweet T&T.
The UN says there are over 2 000 000 Venezuelans who have fled the country as refugees. What is 50 000 (if so much) in T&T? The other 1 950 000 Venezuelan refugees are mainly in Colombia and other Latin American countries all the way down to Chile.
I remember a piece Al Jazeera did on March 1, 2018 showing a Venezuelan mother and her son as they WALKED the 200 kms from the Venezuelan/ Brazilian border to Boa Vista in Brazil.
www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/03/brazil-declares-emergency-venezuelan-migrant-influx-180301130154099.html
Trinidadians and Tobagonians need to do more to help our unfortunate neighbours instead of posting anonymous insults.
First of we're out of the hurricane alley and very rarely do we suffer disasters. Also we're usually the ones that pick up the slack for the rest of the Caribbean islands so we don't need anyone else to babysit.Also that's easy for you to say in your ivory tower. You're not the one that has to deal with the crime they bring and no I'm not being bias most of our crime can be linked backed to Venezuela. Most if not all the guns and drugs come from there. We also have our own economic problems to deal with so it's not like we have money to toss around. It's easy for foreigners to tell us to give aid but it's not like we even have the money to give. WE're not broke poor but it's really tight at the moment so don't act high and mighty just because you think you're a charitable person. We have our own circumstances.
I watched it and it's very moving. I hope someone gave them food to eat and a ride to drop them closer to their destination.
@@rogueshadow7801 Trinidad is not the sole island in the Caribbean that helps other islands when help is needed. Other island pitch in and help each other. I agree with you with a mass entry of migrants in Trinidad, there will be an increase in crimes
w t f? this was better than ANY show on tv.
First comment, "Venezuela is worthless!" I am extremely shocked to hear this happening. I am deeply saddened by what the these people half a world away goes through each and every day. I pray for a drastic change and healing of this land... I am humbled.
The land of Bern!!
Is there anyway I can get in touch with Juan, if anyone what to help him and his family. ?
Maria Zilima Mc Intyre Francis i do.
How?
I want to help him
Liz Lopez trust no one
Someone fooled him, coals are not "in demand" in Trinidad, it is only used for barbequing. He wasted his money in thinking that he could sell it to buy food to trade for a fairer cost to those in need. Even the way he went to board the boat to take him across to Trinidad, usually a boat will transport lots of people and not just one person, it is not worth the effort. Either this film was done for viewership or some other reason, buying coals to trade for money to buy food and a boat transporting one person just does not add up.
Put the community together to work on the land ,to do crops such as peas,maiz,yam,etc...Become farmers to survive.
@@logbia7k608
And socialism/communism discourages if not outright punishes self-sufficiency.
This is happening in Venezuela because there was always a large disparity between the rich and the poor and a very small middle class. The rich had no regard for the poor and they kept getting richer the conditions were ripe for somrone like Chavez to come in and take over. The rich left and went to the US or to Canada or to other south american nations and the poor once again was left to try to survive.
I have watched this video over and over. I recently went fishing at grand boca and looked at the Venezuelan side the whole time. I will like to help that guy. How is he now ?
En esas tierras se da las frutas,algunas verduras y cocos.Por qué no siembran? En mi pais Mexico, en Veracruz es el mismo clima,conocí un señor que sembraba muchas frutas,y siempre tenia que comer.
May God help Venezuela
I was there in Carupano for a carnival in the middle of 80’s I was working as a salesman traveling around of entire Venezuela. People was in good condition and good standards
A friend of mine has lived her entire life in a communist system. She told me once that socialism is the foreplay to communism.
Marcela Lopez Olmos ....if socialism is so great, why didn't it invent the light bulb, the automobile, the airplane , the computer......I could go on. If socialism is so great, tell us where it has worked. Move to Venezuela or Nicaragua or Cuba where you can share poverty equally.
Tarek Jabal Because America and other countries send factories to China for cheap labor. The Chinese government took advantage and lived off of other countries money and paid back little money to workers.
The horde is coming to Trinidad prepare yourselves. Everything is in Trinidad remember what he said can't take these Venezuelans lightly.
A wad of cash for a grocery item, just ludicrously...
Man it's just said
As a Trinidadian, I'm heartbroken. He's right, Trinidad has everything. I really wish I can help these people
It amazes me when liberals say that Venezuela is doing great... This makes my heart bleed and we have people in the west pushing for the same thing
How can I get in touch with Juan? I would lime to help his situation , anything will help right?
This is sad and inhumane hope they get help soon poor people.
que triste
es como cuba
Uncle Ruckus verdad💯💯
Come to Peru their jobs etc .. we already have 500,000 Venezuelan people her we can still take more in ...
Puerto Rico will be like this soon
Pronto Puerto Rico va a ser muy parecido como asi
Uncle Ruckus Puerto Rico is a colony of the US so I doubt it.
Alpha581 but the United States doesn’t really care for Puerto Rico anymore. They’ve been in a pretty bad situation for a while now
@@EE-pt3zb Puerto Rico is determined to elect corrupt people ALL the time. All America can do I'd send billions of dollars in Hope's some get through to the people. It's useless. You people have to stop being corrupt and elect good people
its very sad, my people. my country. but this reality can be changed.
And most of these people probably voted for Chavez.
Warning cut off at the end. Come on Al Jazeera, this was a good doc, no cut offs!
Life in the cities becomes like life in a prison in situations like this in Venezuela. Only farmers and others who grow their own food supply's don feel the impact
The town is Guiria on the east coast of Venezuela. Inflation and devaluation.
No tienen para comer, pero si para fumar.
That coal has some drugs hidden alongside it too!
please tell me there will be a part 2?!
Get back to you
sorry to tell you that no part 2.
we won't know if he made it back? :(
he was willing to go despite the government, he was so willing to do it for his daughter
Tell us how to help him. His father's feet are very bad.
Its too much.....ppl in Venezuela suffer extreme poverty why didn't the government do anything about this.....i feel pity for the Venezuelan
i'm from Trinidad and i feel you pain
I see so much vegetation in the background of these videos, why don’t the people grow gardens and maybe even their own chickens??
If I were starving there, I would find a way to prepare leaves, roots, and other plant parts for human consumption.
I was thinking that then I remembered he trash problem their having as well
For them coal mean drugs.
Se sienten justificados para causarle mal a otros que daño no les han hecho. Por su mal comportamiento, su mendicidad, su mente que crea pobreza y delincuencia es que no se los quiere afuera. Se les ayudó como se pudo porque también somos pobres afuera y nos traicionaron, nos devolvieron los problemas que ya combatíamos.
so how many bolivares i get for one dollar or euro and how to change and get the dolartoday rate ? gracias
When a country is starving, they should welcome any outsiders who bring in food, not treat them as 'smugglers'. ENCOURAGE THEM, YOU IDIOTS. BEG THEM TO BRING MORE.
After they have paid off everybody and his brother, what do they have left? How much food and medicine are they able to smuggle across to Venezuela? How many times a week do they make this hazardous trip? The lives of the Venezuelans are dependent on a safe crossing. This is beyond sad.
"Living in the moment", and "the ME generation",,,
looks like there has been no preparation on anybodies part from top to bottom for a "rainy day."
This is a little more than a rainy day.
" Why don't they sell things for less? We need the governor or the president to intervene."
This appalling ignorance of economics is the reason for their problems and the reason that they will not be solved.
Penalizing the people who bring you food and other goods will only result in less food and goods in the future.
Instead of carrying big bags of worthless Bolivars, wouldn't it be more efficient to use a commodity like cigarettes
or toilet paper as a medium of exchange?
que clase de estupidez en esta ? xd
JohnRinNoHo yes i agree. His mentality is appalling. He surely agrees with socialism.
Government intervention is what got them there in the first place.
JohnRinNoHo mate shut your mouth you don't know what you're talking about
Everyone should be growing potatos, tomatos, or whatever in pots or cans in the windows every little bit helps. Raise rabbits in cages. Feed them grass which is plentiful. Very efficient. Look it up. Use your heads.
I’m relieved to learn there is some source of food. When I hear how bad it is, I picture an entire country of people just dying of starvation.
He loves his daughter so much but he’s leaving her... to god knows what..
AMERICANS REPEAT AFTER ME: "We live in the GREATEST country on Earth!"
That's a good dude wish I can help him
God loves them all even if they or we are unawear.
Things hard in TnT, but not as bad as our neighbors, we should organize and see how we can assist the people without getting either government involved.
I like how he says: "en ese trinidad, hay de todo man, hay de todo"
Nigel Campbell you should be very weary of such a statement
That Man. In that Video. Hey whatsup? Im from Caracas and I see you over there helping your daughter with her homework and doing her hair. Can I help you come to Canada so that we can live happily ever after? lol
I am from Trinidad and there is a huge problem with the influx of Vene’s in the country
They act like they better than us they don’t even say hello or try to integrate
Allot of us try to help them but they curse us behind our backs while smiling with us in our face
I have Vene’s staying in my house right now and they don’t appreciate what I’m doing for them rather they’ll sit and bad mouth my generosity and help
It’s what I can do to help humanity
And still they not pleased
I’d do anything to help that young man and his family.
Can you imagine having money that was at one time enough to buy a house is now not even enough to buy basic food? That's insane! Everyday the price goes up, it will eventually collapse. It's basically worthless now, but it'll eventually be completely worthless. What will the people do then?
