A Short 20 Minute Documentary Update That Includes Everything Going On In Venezuela
They asked CNN to leave Venezuela. Maduro danced on TV during the funeral of Geraldine who was shot in the eye by the National Guard, under the command of democratically elected President Maduro. Who was previously appointed by Hugo Chavez before death. She died the next day. 20 other student protesters younger than me. Motivated by insanely high unemployment, faced with starvation, after a sham of a democratic election have been murdered since the protesting began on February 12th.

Social media is keeping this movement alive through I'm your voice as well and SOS than a fella so many Venezuelans have left because they feared for their lives with the lives of their children that they are scattered about the globe they speak with truth and passion about the beautiful wealthy countries they love so much these kids look just like us they sound like my best friend but many of them speak enough English to communicate which most Americans with four years of high school Spanish can't say they are so smart their bravery is a sounding the police didn't even bother with us in New York City but what if it was every day or for longer than 2 hours we have lives to keep living what if everyone protested something every Sunday would realize we all care about something we all know how it feels to love we all believe in peace and freedom how many human rights abuses will continue to be suffered before the lower classes of the world unite and say enough.
Leopoldo Lopez turned himself on February 18th after being charged with inciting violence at the protest held on February 12th. On February 18th hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan students and workers showed up wearing white while he turned himself in, as a symbol of peace.
The final Facebook status of a Venezuelan student who was the first to lose his life on February 12 has become a message to the Venezuelan people fighting in this movement. "Well people, this person here is going to march tomorrow. Without fear of anything. Hoping to find a better future." Bassil De Costa was 23 years old.
This is a modern democratic country just like ours. The scene should seem familiar, we've seen this before. Tear gas and rubber bullets used on our own citizens to quell protest and keep lower classes from having any say in the governing of our society. How would America have reacted to 20 20 to 30 something college students shot dead by out national guard and hundreds more missing and being tortured.
400 people were arrested for holding hands in front of the White House to stop the Keystone XL pipeline on March 9th 2014 in this country. We are all fighting different battles of the same war. We still have many freedoms not left in other places. I can post this message to you all from my home in New Jersey and speak for Venezuela even when they can not speak for themselves because their internet and televised news channels have been taken down.
