Venezuela People mob rob a bank and then burn the cash

in #upfundition6 years ago

Look at these pictures. Take a long hard look. This is what happens when a centralized government runs a whole country full of vibrant, bright, good people -- into the ground.



The Bolivar -- Venezuela's fiat money -- has lost such huge amounts of value that it's not even worth robbing from a bank. In fact, after the mob robbed this bank and littered the money across the streets -- they then clumped it into piles and burned it.



There's a strong reason I'm including this news in my update. 

I've been exceptionally busy on this project:

20 hours of editing.

12 hours of narrative building

2.5 hours of voiceover re-working.

It's a passion project. I have the ability, here in the developed country of Poland, to work a normal job and then also be able to pursue my project. But the people of Venezuela can't do that. For them each day is a struggle. 

I know that among them is a budding film maker. Someone with an idea that will help change the world. But their economy status prevents them from pursuing their dreams. 

That's why, in this update, I'm reaching out to my fellow Funditioneers --- asking --- how could my documentary, this project, help the people of Venezuela? And others from countries like them?

Perhaps including a message in the film?

Asking for support?

Or how about this ... what if I showcase a bit of Fundition in film? Perhaps this would encourage people in such countries to post projects here. The power of Steem and the Steemit community, ecosystem, and blockchain. 

I've already browsed through the project on Fundition. There are dozens of great causes. Perhaps another idea would be to reach out and include one or two of these other projects in the film. A collaboration even.

Let me know in the comments if other ideas spring to mind.

+R.
