The Revolution Will Not Be Televised — Chavez: Inside the Coup

This doc­u­ment­ary about the April 2002 Venezuelan coup attempt which briefly deposed Venezuelan Pres­id­ent Hugo Chávez.

A tele­vi­sion crew from Ire­land’s nation­al broad­caster, RTÉ happened to be record­ing a doc­u­ment­ary about Chávez dur­ing the events of April 11, 2002. Shift­ing focus, they fol­lowed the events as they occurred. Dur­ing their film­ing, the crew recor­ded images of the events that they say con­tra­dict explan­a­tions giv­en by Chávez’s oppos­i­tion, the private media, the US State Depart­ment, and then White House Press Sec­ret­ary Ari Fleischer.

The doc­u­ment­ary says that the coup was the res­ult of a con­spir­acy between vari­ous old guard and anti-Chávez fac­tions with­in Venezuela and the United States.
