Venezuela sits on the world's largest proven oil reserves, yet by the mid-2010s its people are lining up for hours to buy bread and rummaging through trash for food. This short documentary traces how that happened, from Hugo Chavez's oil-funded socialist programs through the price collapse that gutted government revenue under his successor, Nicolas Maduro. Archival news footage shows empty supermarket shelves, hyperinflation that makes cash nearly worthless, and street protests met with National Guard tear gas. Graphics and data walk through how currency controls, nationalized industries, and dependence on oil exports left the economy with no cushion when prices fell. The film also covers Maduro's move to sideline the opposition-controlled legislature by creating a rival assembly, cementing one-party control even as the humanitarian crisis deepens. It is a brisk explainer rather than an on-the-ground portrait, built for viewers who want the mechanics of the collapse laid out clearly: how a country this wealthy in resources ended up this poor in food, medicine, and functioning government.
