“This is extraordinary stuff – the filmmakers
document the unfolding drama
with urgency, minimal intrusion and vivid clarity... The piercing coverage
of a remarkable forty-eight hours makes (the film) one of the most riveting
documentaries of the year – and one of the most timely.”
– Sean Farnel, Toronto International Film Festival 2003
“A superior example of fearless filmmakers in exactly the right place
at the right time. A startling record.”
– Scott Foundas, Variety

DIRECTED AND PHOTOGRAPHED BY KIM BARTLEY AND DONNACHA O’BRIAIN HUGO CHAVEZ, ELECTED PRESIDENT OF VENEZUELA IN 1998, IS A COLORFUL, UNPREDICTABLE 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. Their film records what was probably history’s shortest-lived coup d’état It’s 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.” |
