THE WORLD OR NOTHING (EL MUNDO O NADA)

Synopsis

WORLD PREMIERE HOT DOCS

(84 min. 2019)

“The World or Nothing is a tender look at the millennial search for online fame, the immigrant dream of “making it” and the inspiring bonds of brotherly love.” Written for Hot Docs by Aisha Jamal

“Ingrid Veninger’s feature films have always had a naturalistic, vérité feel to them, playing with the boundaries between narrative fiction and real-life events… The World or Nothing reverses that polarity: it’s a true story about people who are constantly performing.” Norm Wilner, NOW Magazine

“A film about youth, and hope, and optimism, and that desire to take on the world when anything feels possible.” Pat Mullen, POV Magazine

“Veninger is the perfect choice to document the siblings’ as-yet-unattained entertainment industry glory. The World or Nothing is a film made by a filmmaker who knows precisely what her subjects are going through. While Rubert and Rubido are captivating and charismatic on their own, Veninger never unnecessarily skews their journey for added drama or catharsis. It’s a film about hard working artists doing their best in a global economy that’s downright toxic for creative types.” Andrew Parker, The Gate
