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.

Industry News: Michigan GOP to Kill State Film Incentives

After attracting 200+ film productions and one major studio to the state, Gov. Rick Snyder announced plans to eliminate Michigan's film tax credits.

"It makes no sense to eliminate a program that has been creating jobs," said documentary filmmaker Michael Moore, a member of the Michigan Film Office Advisory Council.

Prior to Snyder's proposal, Michigan had ranked third for production work, trailing only California and New York.
