Plot

Venezuela's crisis drove 8M+ to flee (25% of population). "Dead Houses" depicts those remaining under oppression. Families like Isabel's, Jesús', Darwin's and Juan Pablo's navigate survival, escape and justice.

Venezuela is the story of a shipwreck. A country on the run. More than eight million Venezuelans have left the country across its borders, a quarter of the population, leaving behind their dead houses. "Casas Muertas" is an essay about Venezuelans exiled within their own country, trapped and submerged at the whim of the barbarians who govern it. Isabel, Jesús, Darwin and Juan Pablo's parents survive by resisting, desperate and cornered between flight, hunger for justice, and resilience.
