“A Dangerous Assignment” Screening + Discussion at the Silverspot Cinema in Downtown Miami

July 12, 2024

Join FRONTLINE and Armando.Info for a screening and discussion featuring “A Dangerous Assignment: Uncovering Corruption in Maduro’s Venezuela.”  The screenings, happening on July 20th and 21st, will be followed by discussions with the filmmakers, and the exiled Venezuelan journalists whose investigation exposed problems with a government food program.

The film also tells the inside story of Alex Saab – the shadowy figure at the heart of the scandal, his capture and then release by the U.S. in a controversial prisoner swap, and what has happened to the journalists who uncovered corruption in Maduro’s Venezuela.

  • Juan Andres Ravell: Director, “A Dangerous Assignment” FRONTLINE
  • Jeff Arak: Producer, “A Dangerous Assignment” FRONTLINE
  • Patricia Marcano: Newsroom Coordinator, Armando Info
