This is the first in a series of five background videos produced for IGTV. Follow us on instagram at @wtac_ for more.

Our documentary focuses on the intensely personal stories and daily lives of displaced Venezuelans. This allows us as storytellers to connect our audience directly with the realities of their struggle. 

However we recognize that there is a knowledge gap when it comes to the underlying causes that allowed this crisis to happen. In order to address this, we've created a series of five short videos giving context to the crisis engulfing Venezuela. 

We're making our social platforms a place to follow the development of our documentary, a place for discussion and education, filling in the spaces where the personal stories leave off.
