Venezuela – Corruption, mismanagement and abandoned children | DW Documentary
Corruption and mismanagement have turned Venezuela into a failed state. According to the UN, by November 2023, more than seven million people had fled the country. Some one million children were left behind, alone.
The film shows the fate of two single mothers who do everything they can to get by, taking care of themselves and their children. In Maracaibo’s Santa Rosa de Agua district, health care has collapsed and children are starving. Carolina has set up a foundation to combat child malnutrition. Because there is so much violence in Santa Rosa, Carolina has placed her own daughter in a home in a safer part of the city. The home is an oasis in the midst of chaos. But many of the children here have not seen their parents for years and are severely traumatized.
Most people in the Santa Rosa district survive by resorting to violence, crime, prostitution and begging. “I’ve had to do so much for my children,” says Kiara. “Selling drugs, stealing, prostituting myself. Everything a woman can do for her children.” Her eldest son Yorbenis is 14 and has already joined a gang.
Out of desperation, Kiara decides to leave the country for Colombia. She takes her two youngest children with her, while Yorbenis stays behind alone. Now she’s afraid that he’ll be murdered in her absence.

Amen🫂🤍
Very sad to see and hear about the life style of venezualian. May God bless on them
Socialism killed this country period 🙏
Hey DW, that video of the shoot out was in Puerto Rico, not Venezuela
Weird they forgot socialism in the title.
@32 min…that's kinda funny.
Misspelled Israel
Western propaganda 👎
The result of Chavismo in plain sight.
Crazy how leftists/socialist/communist govts societies always converge to corrupt failed states.
Shockedpikachu.
It is hard to see ,unbelivable what people are suffering
Venezuela is not a failed state by itself rather it has been crippled by the economic sanctions forced upon by CRUEL WEST.
After all the sanctions imposed , US is ready to make videos of the poverty to show it as failed state. US is evil.
What s the difference between the chavist dictature and the UE dictature built by Mrs Vanderlyen? Both couldnt care less about the needs of the population they manage, both have an institutionalized corruption system that encourages their elites to privilege foreign interests against their population interests, both are desindustrialised countries that see their capable population flee to the USA.
Excellent and shocking. DW at its best.
Make an documentary about coruption of romanian politicians . There is much more coruption than other places in Europe !
Socialism & populism bring poverty, corruption and decadence. Now they are exporting crime to the rest of latin America.
These are the inevitable fruits of corruption and 'Socialism'
Not even halfway through, I am already crying.
Poor Germany's become another US puppet
Venezuela committed the grave sin of controlling it's own oil. The horror. Neo-liberal shills like DW have no shame.
Still africa is number 1 corrupt
Right while Rome (Venezuela) burns Nero (Maduro) is jet-setting around in $13 million-dollar private jets while Venezuela's antiquated and rusting oil refineries wither away, and Venezuelans starve and lack basic human services. The worst places in the world have a common thread – washed up communist dictatorships Russia, North Korea, Cuba, and Venezuela. Maduro is out disgustingly partying in public in front of his starving citizens after stealing and election he lost but 66% of the vote.
USA needs to close its borders, shut them tight
Iran is the next one.
While Africa and Latin America are unfortunately some of the poorest continents, it's important to remember that Latin Americans, like people in any other region, deserve a better life. Because they're hardworking people
Venezuela is a testimony to the failure of Marxism as an economic system. Along with Cuba it used to be a nice country and now it's a s*** Pit. Unbelievably there are still people who will defend Marxism as an economic system… Which constitutes a further testimony to human irrationality.
Western Media like DW does not carry stories exposing their negative sides
But America was built on hundreds of years genocide and slavery.
Thats the corrupt leaders the treasonous, sellouts, blame your leaders
why would u bring a child into the world rn and then on top of that abandon them
north korea.
Venezuela's economy fell by 70% between 2012 and 2018 before major sanctions were imposed and took effect in 2018. We have sanctions on Russia and they havent collapsed but Venezuela has? Its because sanctions dont crater economies only cap their potential.
Drug mafias, income inequality, Islam, wokeness is today’s most common problem
First, Colonial Powers should be blamed for Failed States creation. And, Second, of course Corruption and Selfish Political leaders are creators of a 'Failed State'.
Unless US doesn't get out all these states r known to be failed States all this corruptions suffering of people is not by chance but purposely U may predict ur version but people r not dumb n deff
capitalism wins
El gobierno se lavó las manos e hizo cargo de el problema a los otros países.
Dictatorship has a big role in it.
This is why we don't want Donald Trump….send him to Venezuela…he can be a dicktator there.
