The UNICEF-supported film, ‘Hermano’ – which last month won the Grand Prix for Best Film at the International Film Festival in Moscow, as well as the audience and critics’ prizes – will now be used to help spur conversations about violence prevention in Venezuela’s poor urban communities.
UNICEF and the film’s production company, AyB Producciones, plan to screen ‘Hermano’ in many of these areas. The screenings and associated discussion forums will be part of an Urban Communities Violence Prevention Model that UNICEF Venezuela is developing in some neighbourhoods in Caracas, the Venezuelan capital.
These activities aim to promote the development of life skills and ensure the right to education among urban children and adolescents – and to help create protective environments for them at the family level, as well as in their schools and communities.
