The initiative was organized by the Bring Them Back Movement of India, coinciding with the hearing in New York City, where the Venezuelan president and the first combatant remain detained by the US Government since the illegal military aggression ordered by that northern nation’s authorities on January 3 against Caracas and other Venezuelan regions.
The documentary, which recounts Maduro’s biography from his beginnings as a union leader and his and Flores’s paths in the revolutionary political struggle up to 1992, was attended by Maiky Diaz, First Secretary of the Cuban Embassy in India; Vibha Mourya, Indian writer and specialist in Hispanic studies; and students from the Delhi and Jammia Millia Islamia universities.
The series delves into the collective memory of the South American nation and addresses the birth of the Bolivarian Revolution, with the legacy of its historical leader, the eternal Hugo Chavez, as its central theme.
In addition to its context, the production’s historical value lies in its presentation of documentary footage of events in Venezuela, including the tragic episodes of repression suffered by the people during the neoliberal governments associated with Washington before Chavez.
It also covers pivotal events such as Chavez’s first trip to Havana and his first meeting with the historic leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, whose friendship paved the way for the strengthening of progressivism in Latin America.
