CHAVEZ: INSIDE THE COUP (2003) - ♦♦♦♦♦

Directed by - Kim Bartley, Donnacha O'Briain

"This shocking documentary was supposed to get a rare first hand glimpse at Chavez and his Communist rulings of Venezuela; instead, it turned out to get a first hand look at an attempted coup that took place in April 2002. The footage is priceless, and very hard hitting, revealing all the violence but also what a major role the media played in establishing an immediate situation of chaos and panic. This film is also known as The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, and it proves what a difference it makes for a documentarian to be in the right place at the right time."
