It is AMAZING! So much so, that I went to the Internet Movie DataBase (IMDB) and posted the following comment:
http://imdb.com/title/tt0363510/
I am a full time labor union representative in the Seattle area. Over the years I've become very aware of how the multi-national corporations and the elite have manipulated the entire globe for their own selfish gain.
The Chavez film is amazing! It reveals how the rich neo-liberals (ironically they are the same as neo-conservatives in the US) manipulated the media to set up a coup to steal power from the duly elected President.
If you've ever done much reading from great authors Like Noam Chomsky, you will easily see the earmarks of the CIA in this film. TheVenezualan neo-liberals obviously had a lot of "help" in undermining Chavez.
Interesting parallels between Venezuala and the US:
* In Venezuala they undermined a duly elected President to seat a friend of the rich oil barons and corporate elite.
* In the US they undermined an election to seat a friend of the rich oil barons and corporate elite.
* In Venezeuala the elite controlled most of the media to smear thePresident.
* In the US the elite control most of the media to push the President's propaganda and smear the opposition.
Watching Chavez reach out to the poor and the middle class with his message of true revolution, that is to change society in a way that all citizens benefit from the nation's wealth was awe inspiring to me.
The most valuable lesson I came away with was Chavez' insistence that the common citizen arm themselves with the knowledge of their Constitution and to get involved in the political process. He urged them to form community groups called "Bolivar circles" named after the great liberator Simon Bolivar.
Sadly, our nation is headed the way of the third world as the gap between the haves and the have nots widens. I urge every American to get this film, watch it, and apply it. Unless common citizens take an active part in their nation's political system, the oppression will continue.
Chavez brilliant strategy of involving the entire poplulation saved his Presidency AND his life. The fact that he did not retaliate once he regained power is proof that the claims he is a ruthless dictator are false.
Finally, I believe that the US government does not want anyone to view this film. When it was first released there were showings all over the US. But when I sought out the film a few months ago, nearly every website that advertised it was either shut down, or no longer carried it.
Can you say CIA?
However, I finally located the film two weeks ago, if you want to get a copy, I suggest you do so quickly, here is the link:http://venezuelasolidarity.org.uk/form.html
VIVA CHAVEZ!
