Venezuela Eyewitness Report and Film

In addition, we will show a 30 minute documentary film, “Enter the Oil Workers” (see description below). A discussion period will follow.

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”.

Why We're Doing This: This is a benefit for Hands off Venezuela. We in HOV stand to build a movement that can thwart the US government’s plans of aggression against Venezuela. So far the US has backed a coup and an electoral referendum against the government of Hugo Chavez. The US government does not speak for the people of this country when it tries to impose its will on the people of another country. Join us to help build this movement to defend Venezuela.
