SENSATIONAL FILM ABOUT US-BACKED COUP HITS US THEATRES

?THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE TELEVISED?
A documentary film
By Donnacha O Briain & Kim Bartley


HUGO CHAVEZ ELECTED PRESIDENT OF VENEZUELA IN 1998, IS A COLORFUL,
UNPREDICTABLE FOLK HERO, beloved by his nation?s working class ? and a
tough-as-nails, quixotic opponent to the power structure that would see him
deposed. Two independent filmmakers were inside the presidential palace on
April 11, 2002, when he was forcibly removed from office. They were also
present 48 hours later when, remarkably, he returned to power amid jubilant
supporters. Their film records what was probably history?s shortest-lived
coup d?état. It?s a unique document about political muscle, media
manipulation, people power, and an extraordinary portrait of the man The
Wall Street Journal credits with making Venezuela ?Washington?s biggest
Latin American headache after the old standby, Cuba.?

RTE showed this on TV a while back now and it was very interesting television I must say.

Dont be at yourself

The makers were in DCU recently (or maybe it hasn't happened yet) for a screening and a talk on the documantary.
