Chronicle Of The Stolen Land - Caracas slum dwellers' life stories
In Caracas, a unique social initiative emerges as slum dwellers are encouraged to write their life stories to gain legal ownership of the land they inhabit. The documentary delves into the "Cartas del Barrio" program, inspired by a decree from President Hugo Chavez, which collects personal histories from residents.
These letters not only secure land titles but also capture the rich, diverse history of entire neighborhoods, providing a poignant, human portrait of the city's evolution.
