For this blog, I decided to give a brief context on the situation that is currently developing in Venezuela. Not so long ago, Hugo Chavez, ex-president of Venezuela, passed away. He left a country deeply polarized and with a hatred between its social classes. The current president, Nicolas Maduro, has ignited these hatred even more, resulting in a chaotic environment where most Venezuelans are both victims and perpetrators.

I decided to use an expository approach for this video assignment. I tried to appear neutral my voiceover, as well as providing the audience with several facts about the current situation. I also interviewed a Venezuelan citizen with the purpose of getting the opinion of someone directly affected by this situation, and this way giving more credibility to the video assignment.

I hope you enjoy it.
