Dear Patrons,
I would like to start by providing you with another update on the documentary journalist Nicholas Ford and I are making titled ‘Venezuela: The Cost of Challenging an Empire.’ Unfortunately, due to other commitments, Nic is currently in South America for one month filming. This means the production of the documentary has once again been put temporarily on hold. Having said this, Nic and I recently paid a camera crew in Caracas to film the last interview for the film. This task was successfully completed while I am pleased to state that the overwhelming majority of the documentary is now completed and will hopefully be released within the next few months. For more information about this project, you can visit the following page on my personal website.
In other news, I recently gave a 40 minutes interview to the young activist Jamarr Jabari in New Haven, Connecticut. Jamarr host his own podcast where I talked about current political developments in Mexico, Brazil and Peru. Also, on Peru, I recently interviewed Peoples Dispatch journalist and editor Zoe Alexandra for Alborada’s Indestructible Podcast which I host. This interview, which you can listen to here, was fascinating as Zoe has recently returned from Peru where she documented some of the pro-democracy protests after the progressive and democratically elected president Pedro Castillo was overthrown in a soft-U.S.-backed coup in December last year.
