About

Repression in Paradise is the first feature documentary that follows the experiences of protestors, politicians, resistance members, and state police, through the Venezuelan Rebellion of 2017.

Witness the escalating 4-month long protests as millions rebelled against an ever-growing repressive government hell-bent on staying in power at all costs. As international pressure mounted, fault lines began to form within the dictatorship and victory seemed close, but nothing was certain as personal ambitions and doubt in the opposition created uncertainty in the outcome.

From massive marches to military uprisings get a firsthand look at a democracy on the verge of collapse and the heroism it produced in the most unlikely places.
