Chavez: Inside the Coup

"The documentary The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, directed by Irish filmmakers Kim Bartley and Donnacha Ó Briain, provides a firsthand account of the April 2002 coup in Venezuela that temporarily ousted President Hugo Chávez. It critically analyzes the decisive role played by Venezuela's private media in shaping events—from the protest march and violent clashes that triggered the coup, to the swift rise and fall of the interim government under business leader Pedro Carmona. The film ultimately chronicles the collapse of that government and the dramatic restoration of Chávez to power."

This is my answer to the disgusting requirement that all Americans on the up, the down, the right, the left are required to say "Maduro was a bad man" <- rinse and repeat, before they talk about things in Venezuela which they know nothing about. Ignorance blossoms.
