One of the richest countries in Latin America during the 90’s, Venezuela has become a country ridden with civil wars since Hugo Chavez’s power grab in 1999. In light of the events in the Congo Mirador village that floats on Lake Maracaibo best known for its thunderstorms, Venezuelan documentary filmmaker Anabel Rodríguez Ríos’s film sets its eyes on the country’s recent history and maps out an impressive microcosmos of a global war through the political and environmental transformation of the village which she monitored for seven years. Once a calm and peaceful fishing town full of tight-knit folk but has since had its share of the country’s conflicts and political scheming, Congo Mirador has become a ghost town that floats on a lake which was turned into a swamp by the oil companies and where people are subject to forced displacement. Depicting the events in the village leading up to the parliamentary election, the film features Tamara and Natalie, two women of opposing political views who put their hearts and souls into the fight for the future of their village together, and witnesses the devastating consequences of the politics that pit neighbors against each other.
