Spark

Inspired by the student protests that shook Venezuela in 2014, "Spark" tells the story of Oscar, a 19-year old Venezuelan student searching for his missing father, who finds himself detained after organizing a protest against the violence in his country. Experiencing media and Internet censorship, Marina, Oscar's mother, and his friend Alma use a Bluetooth-based app called Spark to create a social movement that attempts to pressure their government to free Oscar.
