Author Humberto García Larralde reflects on a childhood marked by political upheaval in Venezuela. His father, Humberto García Arocha, was imprisoned at the onset of the Pérez Jiménez dictatorship and subsequently exiled. This led to the author and his family being forced to leave Venezuela, spending his formative years in Canada. The family’s return was only possible after Pérez Jiménez was overthrown. The piece, titled “Forajidos,” hints at a deeper exploration of these experiences and the impact of political persecution on personal lives. García Larralde currently can be contacted via humgarl@gmail.com, and the story was originally published on TalCual. Details regarding the author's experience with television in Canada are currently incomplete.
