For Our Children

Synopsis

“We would rummage through the rubbish for any secondary raw materials, any waste that could be sold. I smuggled goods for sale across the border, sold sweets, lollipops. We were hungry, we slept anywhere and everywhere, on bare ground. We had no money, we had to beg,” said one of the victims of the exodus of refugees in Venezuela, a country that, as a result of dictatorship, has been plunged into a deep humanitarian and economic crisis. In the documentary, Dominika Kulczyk together with Kulczyk Foundation learns the stories of Venezuelans crossing the Simón Bolívar bridge, which is located on the border between Venezuela and Colombia, and is often referred to as “the bridge of desperation”.
