"The Revolution Will Not Be Televised"

[7189]

Saw this the other day. Was impressed.

However, not sure if it's trustworthy. What do you make of this documentary?

I don't know much about Venezuela.

What is Chavez really like? How do the people really feel about him?

Cheers.

Venezuela -- Of Chavistas and Anarquistas (http://www.infoshop.org/inews/article.php?story=20050927085522609) has some criticism of Chavez while aconkowledging the positive,

It's completely reliable - it was filmed by an Irish film crew who were there by coincidence

I'm gonna watch it now

[Cult of Reason]

It is also at obscuredtv.com, which, in my experience, takes less time to load (as in, it pretty much starts immediately, and I have never experienced any breaks).

Is there a way to download of those sites rather then just stream?

The systems on many of these sites are designed to prevent people from downloading videos from them.

The only way I know of to download the videos to your computer is the firefox extension VideoDownloader (http://javimoya.com/blog/youtube_en.php).

I'd recommend you check out Nuestro Petroleo y Otros Cuentos (http://ouroil.org) if you're interested in films about Chavez and the Bolivarian Revolution. It is highly informative, and underappreciated.

I remember seeing the disc for this title. However, the CD had a picture of London Bridge on it. I had no idea that it was about Latin America.

Yes, I saw this film at the FTAA/WTO demonstrations. It is very good indeed.

I saw it today. It's very impressive, these documentary guys are really into it. I doubt a coup has been televized so closely on any other occasion.

Also the images from the streets were moving.

And of course the newly military regime, immediately starting opression.

[bolshevik butcher]

It's a fantastic film. For more information on venezuela I would reccomend venezuela bolivariana that is another interesting documentary that looks at the whole situation in Venezuela in detail rather than just the coup. Although it is unforunatley a couple of yeras behind now.
