It's All Good

(Está todo bien)
Tuki Jencquel | Documentary

2018 | 70 minutes | Germany, Venezuela

As the health system collapses, Venezuelans experience severe medicine shortages and have to cope with the country’s brutal reality.

Synopsis

Venezuela is a country rich in natural resources that for decades has prided itself on having one of the best public health systems in the entire region. Today, the near-total collapse of Venezuela’s health system is resulting in severe medicine shortages, a dramatic increase in infant mortality, the reappearance of once-eradicated diseases like diphtheria, and a mass exodus of doctors to hospitals overseas. In Está Todo Bien, Caracas-born Tuki Jencquel asks a pharmacist, a trauma surgeon, an activist, and two patients to confront the same questions millions of Venezuelans are facing: protest or acquiesce, emigrate or remain, lose all hope or hang onto faith?
