SUMMARY:Cleveland International Film Festival: To the Street
DESCRIPTION:CCWA is proud to be a community partner again at this year’s Cleveland International Film Festival. Our partner film\, To the Street (A La Calle)\, will be be available for streaming on April 8-20\, 2021 during the virtual CIFF. Use the code CCWA to receive a discount when purchasing tickets. \nAbout the film: \nThe crisis unfolding in Venezuela has been making headlines for years. As violence erupts in the streets\, people without food\, water\, or electricity have been fleeing the country in droves. Unsustainable economic practices compounded by Nicolás Maduro’s authoritarian reign has created the perfect storm for a national catastrophe\, and has inspired enormous demonstrations throughout the country\, uniting people of all walks of life against the corrupt institutions that hold them down. But standing up has come at a price. Opposition leader Leopoldo López was sentenced to 14 years in prison after “inciting violence” by encouraging people to protest. Thousands more have been incarcerated\, injured\, and even killed for speaking out against the myth of Maduro’s free and fair elections. While the rising opposition party led by López\, alongside Juan Guaidó\, the president of the Venezuela’s National Assembly\, has gained international support\, Maduro has refused to step down\, failing to acknowledge the gravity of the humanitarian crisis. Capturing the profound passion and unwavering resistance of the Venezuelan people\, A LA CALLE documents this incredible uprising through the eyes of ordinary citizens as they struggle to reclaim their democracy. \nFor more information about our partner film and the film festival\, and to purchase tickets\, visit CIFF online.

SUMMARY:What Comes Next for Venezuela?
DESCRIPTION:Registration for this event has closed. Walk-ins are welcome\, but please email jconnell@ccwa.org to provide advance notice. \nThe Cleveland Council on World Affairs is honored to host Ambassador William Brownfield for the Frederick Emeny Foreign Policy Forum. Please note that this event will be held at the Parma-Snow Branch of the Cuyahoga County Public Library. \nBarely two months ago\, in a move many now see as foreshadowing U.S. action in Iran\, the U.S. military launched an operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and bring him to the United States to stand trial. Many people in Venezuela and around the world were grateful to see the demise of Maduro’s brutal and corrupt regime\, but the U.S. move left open critical questions about the future of governance in Venezuela\, as well as what the U.S. action means for our global posture towards our adversaries\, including Cuba and elsewhere. \nCCWA is honored to host Ambassador William (Bill) Brownfield to discuss these timely issues. Ambassador Brownfield is a former U.S. Ambassador to Venezuela and former Assistant Secretary of State for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement\, and will provide his unique perspective and analysis on the future of Venezuela\, U.S. involvement there\, and how these events may shape U.S. relations across the Western Hemisphere. Are these events in Venezuela a one-off occurrence\, or has the U.S. set a new standard for engagement in the region? \n\nPlease note that this event will be held at the Parma-Snow Branch of the Cuyahoga County Public Library. After the program\, we encourage you to continue the conversation with CCWA’s Carter E. Strang Young Professionals Advisory Committee down the street at Parma Tavern. All are welcome!
