El Mito precede a la historia, él marcará el rumbo de lo que hacemos y define nuestro devenir, otorga sentido a quienes somos como personas y como sociedad.
De no ser así ¿Que lleva a una persona adulta, solvente, socialmente reconocida, con familia y estructura a dejarlo todo y aventurarse en la selva amazónica a buscar una quimera, una flor, una planta? O por mejor decir, a buscarse y encontrarse.
¿Cual será la necesidad de un grupo o un país a arriesgarse y a luchar por ideales mas trascendentes que los bastardos intereses monetarios, el éxito y el reconocimiento social.
El Abrazo de la Serpiente, la premiadísima coproducción Colombiana, Venezolana y Argentina de Ciro Guerra trata, por medio de la imagen, de dar respuesta estas preguntas y entender la aparente sinrazón del camino del héroe—y quizás de las naciones—para encontrase y cambiar el sentido de un mundo sólo guiado por el triunfalismo, el éxito y el dinero fácil. En ella valoramos el proceso expresado por los alquimistas Aurum Nostrum non est Aurum Vulgi. Aún cuando ello implique dejar lo que nos identifica y da pertenencia.
La proyección de la película tiene como objeto concienciar y aportar a la lucha del pueblo de Venezuela por recuperar su identidad, libertad y dignidad.
Gracias.

We are changing Venezuela together.
Venezuela is suffering from a health crisis. In fact, it is the worst humanitarian crisis in the region over the past 30 years. There is a crippling shortage of medicine and medical supplies. People have found themselves unable to access and receive adequate medical treatment. As a result of these hardships and lack of action, many have died.
We are an organization in Houston dedicated to aid the current humanitarian crisis. Our goal is to help minimize the current deficiencies in Venezuela that prevent the continuous access to these necessary items. We want to promote and organize civic activities that would not only raise awareness about the crisis but also help us make a tangible contribution to those suffering the effects of the scarcity of medical supplies in Venezuela today.
Our mission is to build connections to facilitate access to health care, education, and nutrition in Venezuela.
Health Care
We have partnered with doctors and organizations in Venezuela who tend to the vulnerable communities in centers of public health, homes, and refuges. From this network we receive specific requests of the most needed items, and we work to fulfill these requests.
Education
We organize events and drives not only to raise funds and collect item donations, but to also raise awareness of the situation in Venezuela. In these events, we partner with local parishes, businesses, and communities.
Nourishment
We have a partnership with several chapters of poor and underprivileged nursing homes managed by nuns, to whom we send basic food, medical supplies, and hygiene products.
To contribute to the lessening of the suffering of patients in Venezuela that are not able to receive the medicine and supplies necessary for their treatments while building a community centered around lending a hand to Venezuelans in need.
