Talks about society under Chavez in Venezuela. Poor people have a voice, medical resources and education and how prices are being lowered by the sales of oil. Also, how the dwindling elite there adore capitalism as far as using the private media to show staged acts of violence from Chavez supporters, when reality they were defending themselves from the anti-chavista police forces. Must watch for those critical of Chavez. Be sure to put the h t t p : / / before "video" in the URL.

Seen it. That's a good documentary, John Pilger is really good. The Revolution Will Not Be Televised is a really good doc, documenting the attempted coup:

brilliant work. He also shows, that unlike Michael Moore, he can dupe some right-wing nutjobs into an interview and then trash them with sharp wit.

I also recommend his ground-breaking first work, "Cambodia: Year Zero" it's also on Google video

Pilger is superb, his work is an education in itself. The Bew Rulers of The World and War by Other Means are also well worth watching. He provides a good expose on the IMF, World Bank and the multi nationals.

It's fantastic, and first seeing it actually helped me get into left wing politics.
