The Old Man And Jesus: Prophets Of Rebellion examines the the lives of two men who live on the streets of Caracas in the middle of a fascist offensive that tries to halt the revolutionary process taking place in Venezuela and fueled with the arrival of Hugo Chavez to the presidency. The wise poetry of the Old Man and the explosive verb of Jesus give a direct account of the commitment to liberation that grows from the Venezuelan people, far beyond the influence of leaders or enlightened vanguards.

This film is a documented prophecy of the rebellion that minute-to-minute is silently planned below the bridges and sewages of a world that sooner or later will rise in thirst for justice.
