Tomas Sancio reacts to the news that the Venezuela government will help finance a movie project by Danny Glover about the Haitian revolution led by Touissant L'Overture.  He writes in his blog, Venezuelan Politics, “You have to be really irresponsible to approve such an expense when the same newspaper reports on page 7 about a El Nacional headline declaring that the Misión Negra Hipólita cannot absorb more homeless kids because it is full…We are all for movies about civil rights, racism, etc. But gentlemen, do it with your own money. It's not like it is in short supply in Hollywood.
