Hugo Chavez was a colourful, unpredictable folk hero who was beloved by his nation’s working class. He was elected president of Venezuela in 1998, and proved to be a tough, quixotic opponent to the power structure that wanted to depose him. When he was forcibly removed from office on 11 April 2002, two independent filmmakers were inside the presidential palace.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its narrative through immediate, verité observation, relying on raw footage and chronological editing. It explores the very moment a media narrative is constructed and then unraveled before our eyes.

What lingers after viewing is the profound sense of being an insider to history, where every glance and offhand remark carries monumental weight. A masterclass in political documentary as real-time evidence. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Kim Bartley
