Video (74m): The Revolution will not be televised
Two independent filmmakers were inside the presidential palace on April 11, 2002, when Venezuelan democraticaly elected president Hugo Chavez was forcibly removed from office. They were also present 48 hours later when, remarkably, he returned to power amid cheering aides from the masses. Their film records what was probably history's shortest-lived coup d'état. It's a unique document about political muscle 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."

Forum: Venezuela Revolution within the Revolution

Video (30m): Basta Bolivia, Enough Bolivia
The Gas War began with the government's plan for a $5.2 billion dollar natural gas pipeline project to export gas to the United States, controlled by a consortium, including Repsol/YPF SA, British Gas (UK). However social movements, who found out the unfair conditions of the contract, stopped in its tracks the multibillion plan, ending with the president Sanchez de Lozada fleeing the country and more than 80 civilians were shotdead.

Film (145m): The Corporation
One hundred and fifty years ago, the corporation was a relatively insignificant entity. Today, it is a vivid, dramatic and pervasive presence in all our lives.
Like the Church, the Monarchy and the Communist Party in other times and places, the corporation is today’s dominant institution. But history humbles dominant institutions. All have been crushed, belittled or absorbed into some new order.
The corporation is unlikely to be the first to defy history.

Saturday 12th 1pm - 8pm
The exhibition is transporting up to St. George's Theatre for The Creative Forum Event where Jason Harris will give an illustrated talk about the Alberdi School. A Venezuelan school run by the community.

Film (80m): When Women Unite
In 1992, women in Nellore, Andhra Pradesh revolt against government supply of liquor to their villages. The resistance spreads like wildfire. In four months, 800 village shops have been stormed and shut by angry women. In 12 months, the movement has spread across the state of Andhra Pradhesh. Three years later, the government is compelled to declare state-wide prohibition. It is an account of actual incidents put together through the testimonies of activists, government officials, liquor dons and the women in 22 villages of Nellore district recreating the emotional intensity and the tensions of the struggle.
