It has become an annual tradition that People in Need, the Embassy of the Netherlands in the Czech Republic and the Delegation of Flanders in the Czech Republic get together on December 10 and honour the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Unfortunately, this year we are unable to meet in person, but we are able to connect in real time with our guests from Venezuela, Germany and Slovakia. We have prepared a virtual event, with this year’s focus being on Venezuela.

Human Rights day: Venezuela - A place where crisis is forbidden
About the film: As the public health system collapses, a pharmacist, a trauma surgeon, a social activist, and two cancer patients confront the same questions as millions of other Venezuelans struggling to survive in a nation plunged into chaos: to protest or to acquiesce, to emigrate or to stick it out, to lose all hope or to hang on to faith? Together they take to the stage to act out their circumstances and find emotional release.
Está Todo Bien was chosen as the best film on One World Film Festival in Brussels 2019 -
