Over the course of several years, Anabel Rodriguez Rios’ unsentimentally elegiac documentary Once Upon a Time in Venezuela quietly observes Congo Mirador being brought to its knees, to progressively powerful and enraging effect.

Original-Cin by Liam Lacey

The result is a film that is presented as a kind of a fable, and a microcosm of a country whose fortunes once depended on oil.

Film Threat by Lorry Kikta

The reason that Once Upon A Time In Venezuela is so effective is that it explores a microcosm of the events.
