SUMMARY:The world premiere of "Escaping Venezuela" from Reason
DESCRIPTION:Come to the world premiere of Escaping Venezuela\, a new feature documentary from Reason. It tells the story of Venezuela’s collapse through the life of Carlos Mora\, an entrepreneur whose thriving business was destroyed by the state. \n\n\n\nTickets are limited. Save your seat now!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSAVE YOUR SEAT!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAfter Venezuela’s socialist dictator Hugo Chávez imposed price controls\, nationalized industries\, and silenced the media\, Carlos fought back in a remarkable way: by helping dissident judges\, journalists\, and others targeted by the regime escape across the border. Carlos’ resistance came at a terrible cost. He was captured\, imprisoned\, and tortured. \n\n\n\nMeanwhile\, the country suffered the worst peacetime collapse in modern world history. Once among Latin America’s wealthiest democracies\, Venezuela suffered starvation\, rampant blackouts\, political repression\, state-sponsored murder\, and the exodus of 8 million people\, or about a quarter of the population. \n\n\n\nDemocratic Socialists of America-aligned candidates are surging in popularity in the U.S.\, though most voters have little firsthand experience with the policies they advocate. This film tells the story of how socialism can transform a prosperous democracy into a humanitarian catastrophe—and serves as a warning about how quickly freedom and prosperity can be lost. \n\n\n\nWatch the trailer here. \n\n\n\nEvent Details\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWHEN:Tuesday\, October 13\, 20266:00 p.m. doors open6:30 p.m. screening begins\, followed by a panel discussion \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWHERE:IFC Center323 6th AveNew York\, NY 10014 \n\n\n\nCOST:$15! $20 after September 30 \n\n\n\n\nSAVE YOUR SEAT!\n\n\n\n\nFeaturing\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJim Epstein\, Director\, Escaping Venezuela\n\n\n\nGermania Rodríguez Poleo\, Narrator\, Escaping Venezuela\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPast Events\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSAVE YOUR SEAT!
