The article provides an in-depth look at the dire situation in Venezuela through the experiences of a photographer, Joris van Gennip, and his encounters with various aspects of Venezuelan life. It describes the overpopulated Tocorón prison, run by an inmate known as 'Niño Guerrero', who is seen as both a ruthless leader and a benefactor. The article also covers the massive protests in Caracas against government corruption and economic crisis, detailing the violent clashes with authorities and the use of tear gas. Additionally, it portrays the struggles of a middle-class family in Maracay, discussing the impact of hyperinflation, food shortages, and the healthcare crisis on their daily lives. The government's focus on propaganda over citizen welfare and the forced participation of hospital employees in pro-government marches are highlighted. The article concludes with reflections on the uncertain future of Venezuela and the difficult choices facing its citizens.
