Filmmakers go to Venezuela to make a documentary about Chavez, wind up in the shortest-lived coup in the history of South America. It's an interesting documentary that shows what different sectors of Venezuela think of Chavez's politics, how his government works and is a live document of the people's reactions to the coup, but most importantly it is one of the most vivid and eye-opening definitions of 'media-bias'. Recommended even if you know nothing about socialist Venezuela.

Consistently engaging. However, I cannot help of think of the line from Heinlein's novel _Glory Road_: "To claim to 'respect' and even to 'love' the great mass with their yaps at one end and smelly feet at the other requires the fatuous, uncritical, saccharine, blind, sentimental slobbishness found in some nursery supervisors, most spaniel dogs, and all missionaries." Some young leftist is gonna yell at me for saying that, but, like Joe Bob Briggs says, this ain't Communist Russia

Like Khomeini and others, outside intervention was a significant boon to Chavez's regime. This documentary captures the most dramatic moments of the start of the consistent shift to the left in Latin America, but if you admire or respect Chavez because of the figure presented here or elsewhere in the media keep in mind he called Libyan and Syrian protestors fascists. He is a joke.
