Hello, I'm James Reynolds.
Welcome to the documentary from the BBC World Service.
In BBC OS Conversations, we bring people together to share their experiences.
This time,
we hear from Venezuela about life in the country and from those who've been forced to leave.
Nicolas Maduro had his chance until he didn't.
He eft around and he found out.
This was one of the most stunning,
effective and powerful displays of American military might and competence in American history.
That's from a White House video which was published after the Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife Celia Flores were seized by U.S.
troops from their compound in the capital Caracas.
They were taken in handcuffs to New York to face drug trafficking and weapons charges.
The couple denies the charges.
President Trump said that his administration would begin to run Venezuela.
But what that means in practice is far from certain.
For now, at least, Maduro's vice president, Delcey Rodriguez, has taken power.
We wanted then to get a sense of what life is like for Venezuelans.
We start inside the country.
Our four guests live in Caracas.
We've changed their names to protect their identities.
