first time my mom told the story. Two decades later, that same child is dreaming and laboring tirelessly to return to his country of birth through a premier digital storytelling fellowship and narrate the 18-year tale of the Bolivarian Revolution.

Summers spent roaming Caracas, playing in La Llanada’s Acarigua summer camp, and visiting family in Ciudad Bolivar are a backdrop to the stream of daily headlines and news. My ties…
