A retrospective of films starring the social bases that supported the Bolivarian revolution is taking place in Madrid. The screening in Spain of the film 'Simón', which addresses the 2017 protests in an unprecedented way, coincides with the film series.
Simón has been seen by 120,000 people in his native country, swept the Venezuelan Film Festival with six awards, including best film, and returned Venezuela to the Goya seven years later. The film ends with the historic parliamentary elections of 2015, when the opposition won a majority in the National Assembly for the first time in 16 years.
