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.

More Info: In WILLIAM KUNSTLER: DISTURBING THE UNIVERSE, filmmakers
Emily Kunstler and Sarah Kunstler explore the life of their father,
the late radical civil rights lawyer. In the 1960s and 70s, Kunstler
fought for civil rights with Martin Luther King Jr. and represented
the famed „Chicago 8‰ activists who protested the Vietnam War. When
inmates took over Attica prison, or when the American Indian Movement
stood up to the federal government at Wounded Knee, they asked
Kunstler to be their lawyer.

To his daughters, it seemed that he was at the center of everything
important that had ever happened. But when they were growing up,
Kunstler represented some of the most reviled members of society,
including accused terrorists, rapists and assassins. This powerful
film not only recounts the historic causes that Kunstler fought for;
it also reveals a man that even his own daughters did not always
understand, a man who risked public outrage and the safety of his
family so that justice could serve all.

Selected as one of the best documentaries of 2010. For additional
