More Info

The film gives a different perspective on Venezuela from the one presented in the mainstream media. It gives us a glimpse of a prehistory to the contemporary era where the mainstream media focus obsessively on President Chávez, as if he alone were responsible for the Venezuelan revolution. Here we find out that Venezuela in the years before Chávez was a very 'bad democracy' as Enrique says.
