THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE TELEVISED





HUGO CHAVEZ ELECTED PRESIDENT OF VENEZUELA IN 1998, IS A COLOURFUL,

UNPREDICTABLE FOLK HERO, beloved by his nation's working class and

a tough-as-nails, quixotic opponent to the power structure that

would see him deposed. Two independent filmmakers were inside the

presidential palace on April 11, 2002, when he was forcibly removed

from office. They were also present 48 hours later when, remarkably,

he returned to power amid cheering aides and the populace.

Their film records what was probably history's shortest-lived

coup d'état. It's a unique document about political muscle and an

extraordinary portrait of the man The Wall Street Journal credits

with making Venezuela "Washington?s biggest Latin American headache

after the old standby, Cuba."
