Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Venezuela
By Leavie “Soul on Fire” Scott Her name was Nava, a 23‑year‑old shopkeeper’s daughter from Tehran, though she didn’t feel young anymore. Not after the week she had survived. Not after watching the value of Iran’s currency collapse so fast that shop windows changed prices twice a day. Not after seeing her father stand in his empty store and whisper, “I cannot afford to open tomorrow.”

Sounds interesting
My first time hearing of this movie. I want to watch!
Whoaaaaa! I have to watch this!
That's a pretty tight genre there, Mike. Haven't seen it. Heard of it. May have to check it out.
Great job!
I"ll have to check this out.
I'll have to look this one up. But now I know how it ends. 🙁
Love this my brother!! 💕
I'm not familiar with this one. Sounds interesting.
I remember watching this film in an intro to short screenwriting course. I remember being so beautifully turned off by the sound mixing and extreme contrast in the film. It's one that's pretty vividly burned into my head as the exact right way to make your audience fairly uncomfortable while still managing to tell a compelling story and not turning them off. Nicely written!
I love most Aronofsky films but I’ve never actually seen his debut! Excellent critique!
nice written
You had me at the first sentences!
