RED VIC MOVIE HOUSE•The Revolution Will Not Be Televised



	The Revolution Will Not Be Televised
	Dir. Kim Bartley & Donnacha O'Briain Ireland 2003 This amazing documentary began when two Irish filmmakers went to Venezuela in 2002 to make a film about the President, Hugo Chavez. Four months into their filming, a larger, more complex event began to unfold. Chavez, elected by a healthy majority, was hated by many in the upper-middle class because of his outspoken views on reforming the country's corrupt oil industry. His opposition also had strong ties to the Bush administration, whose foreign policies Chavez openly criticized. When an anti-Chavez demonstration was staged by the opposition, his supporters came to his defense and chaos broke out. With the opposition spinning the news, the Chavez supporters were blamed for the violence. Because the filmmakers had unlimited access to the drama, this eyewitness reportage of the coup and the counter coup is of enormous historic importance and will make you question everything your own corporate-controlled media chooses to feed you.
