00:00A movie on the life of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro had its premiere in Caracas,
00:05Venezuela, on Sunday, July 14.
00:07The film, titled Nicolás, describes different stages in the life of the current president
00:12and candidate in the elections.
00:14Our special envoy Juno Zuner with the details.
00:18The Teresa Carreño Theater in downtown Caracas.
00:21Hundreds of people are waiting for President Maduro.
00:24An exciting moment for them.
00:26They are going to confront the subject of their work.
00:34I believe that the most important thing in this film titled Nicolás is that perhaps
00:38we can find in it, and in this beautiful book by Ana Cristina Bracho the traces of how an
00:51appropriate time, a painful time for this country, the 30 years of the 60s, 70s and
01:0480s, could build not only a powerful social and political movement, but also an honest
01:16leader, a leader with a great sense of ethics and morals, a humble leader, a true revolutionary
01:32leader.
01:36The biopic is based on the book of Ana Cristina Bracho and it will be distributed to the entire
01:41population both in print and digitally.
01:45We had decided to approach facts that were proven or that we could confirm either because
01:49the president himself has expressed them or because we had testimonies from people who
01:53lived through those stages with him.
01:57The movie tells in six chapters Maduro's life from childhood through his youth and first
02:02political activities ending with Comandante Chávez pointing him out as the next leader
02:06of the revolution.
02:08It was made by the Movimiento Futuro collective.
02:34Like many who contributed to this film, the lead actor, whom Maduro at the ceremony declared
02:38his official double, is not a professional actor but an engineer.
02:43He says it was a great experience and a great challenge.
02:47The origins of Nicolas Maduro's humanity comes from his struggle, from his social struggle,
02:53his trade union struggle, from his love for sports.
02:56The values that forged him without a doubt the values needed to lead a nation are reflected
03:01in the film and they are the ones that formed Nicolas Maduro as a humble president, as president
03:07with solidarity principles.
03:09The spectators reacted during the screening.
03:12Sometimes they shouted Viva Chávez, sometimes they applauded when romantic situations between
03:17Nicolas and his later wife Celia Flores were shown.
03:24I cried, I remembered our ever-present Chávez.
03:27It was a very beautiful film, a movie that shows the reality of our country, what has
03:31been happening for years and let's hope that from now on we continue in revolution, in
03:36the process and with President Nicolas Maduro.
03:43The movie was completed in just one month.
03:46The six chapters will be presented one every day on the networks.
03:49The president himself, present in the theater, invited to watch them.
03:53But his emphasis was on the future.
03:56If life has been good, intense, strong, but beautiful, what is to come will be more beautiful.
04:12This is called hope, this is called certainty.
