On April 11, 2002, Irish documentarians Kim Bartley and Donnacha O'Brian were in Venezuela with the intention of making a movie about the nation's left-leaning president, Hugo Chavez. However the filmmakers found themselves in the midst of a coup d'etat as the right-wing opposition overthrew the leader. Chavez was returned topower, but this film captures those frightening days in which a nation's ppolitical future was fought over using bullets and media manipulation. Learn what the White House thought about the coup in the world's fifth largest producer of oil (providing 14% of the US' petroleum). The event will include an update from the local Venezuelan Support Group and a talk by noted historian and author Michael Parenti.
