On 23 November, Korean-Americans in Los Angeles hosted a screening of the film “Nicolás,” which depicts the life and struggle of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
The event was co-organized by Korean American National Coordinating Council, NANUM Corean Cultural Center, U.S. Support Committee for Korean Prisoners of Conscience, and Koreans for Woori Schools
After watching Part 1 of Nicolás, participants shared their impressions, stating, “Maduro is not a drug trafficker. We learned truths that are completely different from what the media has been telling us about Venezuela.”
They further condemned US imperialism, saying, “Just as the United States invaded Iraq under the pretext of weapons of mass destruction, it is now attempting to invade Venezuela using the false accusation of drug trafficking as justification. The history of the United States is a history of invasions.”
The audience also expressed solidarity with the Venezuelan people, remarking, “We hope many more people will see this important film. As a Korean nation facing the war threats of US occupation forces just like Venezuela, we stand in solidarity with their struggle.”
