Venezuela has the largest proven oil reserves in the world. It was once so rich that Concorde used to fly from Caracas to Paris. But in the last three years its economy has collapsed. Hunger has gripped the nation for years. Now, it’s killing people and animals that are dying of starvation. The Venezuelan government knows, but won’t admit it!!! Four in five Venezuelans live in poverty. People queue for hours to buy food. Much of the time they go without. People are also dying from a lack of medicines. Inflation is at 82,766% and there are warnings it could exceed one million per cent by the end of this year. Venezuelans are trying to get out. The UN says 2.3 million people have fled the country - 7% of the population.

Documentary participants for PhD project

I am sending a long a request by a friend. Please respond to her, not me, if
you're interested!

For my research project on documentary filmmaking and ethics I am
investigating the experiences of documentary participants.

I plan to visit the American University in Washington as a visiting scholar
for about four months, arriving half February at the earliest. In these
months, let's say March to July, I would like to interview each participant
twice.

Therefore I am looking for participants
- who are willing to share their experiences in semi-structured interviews;
- are avaliable for interviews between March and end of June.

The first interview should take place after filming is done but before the
premiere of the film.
The interviews will take as long as the interviewee takes to relate her/his
experiences. The interviews will be recorded on a digital voice recorder.

I would appreciate it if you could ask suitable participants if they are
interested in participating in my research. You may forward my contact
details to them or, if they prefer, please forward their contact details to
me and I will get in touch with them.

Attached you will find some additional information about my research
project.

For more information, questions and comments please feel free to contact me.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation,

kind regards,

Willemien Sanders
