WAITING TO CONTINUE:
The Venezuelan Asylum Seekers on Martha’s Vineyard
Dirs. Ollie Becker, Tom Ellis, and Tim Persinko | Documentary | USA | 2023 | 20 min
Given false promises of work and housing, 48 Venezuelan migrants were flown from San Antonio, Texas, to Martha’s
Vineyard last September. This film documents their three-day experience on the Island, before they were transported to Joint Base Cape Cod for further assistance by state and federal agencies. Featuring interviews with the Venezuelans, and with Vineyard residents who supported them, this is a captivating local retelling of the
manufactured crisis.
Circuit Films and the community of Martha’s Vineyard are continuing to work with their Venezuelan friends to make sure they get the resources they need and that their story is told. Like with many documentaries in process, the story is still unfolding and they continue to work diligently to tell it truthfully and respectfully and to ensure the voices of the individuals most affected by this event are heard. www.AIFFest.org
