From the director:
Throughout my life I have felt and watched the economic and political conditions in Venezuela deteriorating, and social injustice escalating. In 2017, the country and fellow students took the streets demanding a better future. They were faced with severe police oppression, leaving many dead. My frustration and inability to directly support them inspired the concept behind Plomo. Taking the shape of a bullet, the viewer becomes, at first, a passive witness of the event that’s unfolding around it. Through its trajectory, the viewer gets to grasp the feeling of being inside a riot. Eventually, the viewer actively influences and affects the outcome of the scene by reaching its unavoidable mortal target.

Through this piece I hope to spread awareness and bring global attention to the pain and suffering of Venezuelans. This in order to start a conversation demanding action, as well to raise consciousness regarding the weight of the consequences of pulling a trigger.
