In just a few years, Venezuela has gone from the richest country in South America to one of the poorest. In front of gas stations, Venezuelan drivers have to wait for hours, sometimes days, to hope to fill their tanks even though the country has the world's largest oil reserves. Brother Nelson braves the mountain trails to distribute essential foodstuffs to Indian communities. In the Andes, Chucho keeps his whole village alive thanks to barter and his 4X4. On Lake Maracaibo, fishermen helplessly witness the contamination of the water by abandoned oil wells when they no longer have enough to buy fuel for their boats.
