The Bolivarian Revolution: Enter the Oil Workers! (2005, 34 minutes)

Directed by Selma Jones & Nina Lopez

Produced by the Bolivarian Circle of the Global Women’s Strike

In these unique interviews, oil workers – women and men – tell how and why they saved their industry from a CIA-backed coup, how they see their struggle in relation to other working class people in the world, and how they are organizing with the community and the military to “put the oil industry at the service of humanity”.
