The Revolution Will Not Be Televised-By Kim Bartley and Donnacha O'Briain"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."

" [Hugo] Chavez, elected president of Venezuela in 1998, is a colorful 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 cheering aides.

Run Time 1 Hour 15 Minutes"

"Some of you may recall that the cowardly Amnesty International withdrew this documentary from a film festival in 2003 due to a massive campaign of flack, intimidation and threats or violence from the Venezuelan right-wing. The film distributor withdrew distribution shortly after this.

It is the most compelling documentary I've ever seen. Please get a copy and loan it to your friends."
