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.

Funding: MacArthur Fondation Documentary Film Grants

The MacArthur Foundation is accepting proposals for 2011 documentary film grants though June 1, 2011. The Foundation seeks to fund documentary film projects that address significant social challenges or explore important but under-reported topics.

MacArthur's goal in media grantmaking is to provide the public with high-quality, professionally-produced documentary films, deep and analytical journalism, and well-produced news and public affairs programming.

MacArthur supports U.S.-based independent documentary filmmakers for the
production and distribution of social-issue documentary films intended for a
broad audience. The typical MacArthur documentary film grant is $100,000 to
$200,000.
