The biographical film about the president of Venezuela, titled Nicolás: the origin, will be screened in all the communal circuits and communes of the country through a cineforum and at the request of the communities, announced this Tuesday the sectoral vice president for Social and Territorial Socialism, Héctor Rodríguez.
From the headquarters of the Casa de las Letras Andrés Bello Foundation, in Caracas, where a special performance was held for social movements, Rodríguez explained that this production was the idea of a group of young creators who, with “absolute austerity,” with their own equipment and with actors who, for the most part, had never acted, “wanted to make a gift, a tribute to comrade Nicolás.” It was released last year and was intended in chapters for social networks, but “then it gained gigantic strength and ended up being spread through alternative media and platforms,” he added.
The vice president of the Social Area recalled that this film was seen on President Maduro’s YouTube account by more than 250 thousand people and then “the account was strangely taken down.” “But hey, it doesn’t matter, because there are millions of us who are reproducing them,” he said.
In view of the success of the film since it did not cover the entire life of the Venezuelan president, the creators continued investigating and in the coming days they will present a second stage of Maduro’s life, this time from when he met former President Hugo Chávez in the Yare prison, until he became President of the Republic. Nicolás: the origin, tells the life of the head of state from his birth until he met Chávez and a good part of the script is based on the biographical book written by Ana Cristina Bracho.
“These days we want, as a tribute to that great comrade who is Nicolás Maduro, to present the film. We have set the goal of presenting it in the five thousand 336 communes or communal circuits, a work that the social movement networks are going to carry out,” he expressed.
