Documentary : Chavez - Inside the Coup

In April 2002 there was an attempt to overthrow Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez. Irish film-makers Kim Bartley and Donnacha Briain had arrived in the country a couple of months earlier to make a documentary on Chavez. "Our initial interest was in Chavez himself," says O' Brien. "But as soon as we got out there we knew there was something going on, so we stayed on."

The two film-makers were there to record the demonstrations; the shootings; the siege; the surrender. They were also there the next day when Chavez supporters marched on the city to protest, the state television was restored, and the army turned on it's own commanders and forced the release of Chavez.

Excellent programme, fly-on-the-wall coverage of a coup in action. Lies, propaganda, and Generals in stoopid uniforms. This must be just how it has happened so many times in Latin America, only this time the people managed to regain democracy from the plotters.

Funny how the main instigators of the coup had just been in Washington as guests of the US Administration.
And how the main culprit is now residing in Miami.
And the quote from George Tenet, head of the CIA about the Chavez government not being amenable to US business interests.
And how the main culprit is now residing in Miami.
And that they have a lot of oil in Venezuela.

Viva Chavez!! Viva Video Journalismo!

What an excellent documentary.

Favourite bit is when the opposition to chavez have a meeting looking all radical, and then issue a warning to their members to keep an eye on their domestic servants! Classic!

Also when the coup leaders are walking around the palace all glorious like, the look on guards faces is just priceless, you can tell they're not gonna take it much longer.

I also loved the coup leader announcing that normality had returned played over pictures of the police laying into the populace.

Another classic was the "unbiased" reporter letting slip that the whole coup announcement had been filmed in his house!

Excellent film by Kim Bartley and Donnacha O'Brien, and congratulations to RTE for showing it.

For those of you who missed it, there's a (not-quite-finished) site at www.chavezthefilm.com.

Well done!
