Completing a year since its launching, the documentary HERMANOS. Brazil in the humanitarian response to the Venezuelan crisis, produced by the Fraternity –International Humanitarian Federation (FIHM), with subtitles in seven languages, has already spontaneously had more than 40 thousand viewings.
Dynamic and engaging, the documentary consists in a plurality of narratives, built through stories of immigrants, refugees and different members of Operation Welcome – a great humanitarian taskforce – of giving shelter to thousands of Venezuelans in the State of Roraima and in Manaus.
The response of the public to Hermanos is warm and expressive: “Wonderful from beginning to end. Clarifying, moving, it touches the heart and soul. It made me think a lot about humanity’s lack of sensitivity and receptiveness. Very good indeed, congratulations to those involved in such beautiful work,” stresses Shelley Bonfim, plastic artist of Vitória, Espíritu Santo.
“I really liked the welcoming look, without embellishment, and being introduced to so many voices taking part in this kind of exodus,” assessed the journalist and cinema critic, João Rodolfo Franzoni, from Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo.
Another emphatic observation was that of the indigenous Kraô journalist and anthropologist, Raimunda Damasceno, of Boa Vista, Roraima: “it made my voice heard, which cannot always shout.”

The Brazilian humanitarian Response to the Venezuelan crisis
In 2016, touched by the Venezuelan immigration crisis in northern Brazil, which had begun to intensify, the Humanitarian Fraternity (FIHF) sent the first group of humanitarian workers to Boa Vista. because of this, in the month of November of that year, the Roraima Humanitarian Mission was born.
From then until now, it has been five years of uninterrupted participation in the humanitarian response to the Venezuelan people. Throughout those five years, different stages followed each other, and the Humanitarian Fraternity (FIHF), because of being a pioneer in this response, participated in all the phases, and continues to work in improving the humanitarian assistance.
To celebrate this Mission of love and selfless service, in May of this year, the Humanitarian Fraternity (FIHF) will launch the documentary Trajectory of a Mission, which tells the story of its uninterrupted performance in this humanitarian response.
