Growing Up in Oil tells a story of lack of love in a greedy world from the experience of three kids overcoming the disintegration of their families and gradual disappearance of their village Congo Mirador, built on stilts in the middle of Lake Maracaibo (Venezuela) - the largest oil field in Latin America. As they will be forced to migrate, they have to leave their childhood behind.
