In 2020, Jordan Goudreau, a former U.S. Army special forces medic who won three Bronze Stars for bravery in combat, partnered with a rebellious former Venezuelan military officer accused by the U.S. of being a drug kingpin to organize an insurrection to topple President Nicolas Maduro.
That failed overthrow will be the basis for a new feature film, “The Coup,” that is being developed by Exile Content Studio and The Associated Press’ AP Productions. The movie will draw on a series of articles by AP correspondent Joshua Goodman as it seeks to understand the big personalities behind the geopolitical gambit. As Goodman’s articles made clear, Goudreau and the drug lord conspired to secretly train 300 deserters from the Venezuelan army in Colombia, then sneak them back into Venezuela. However, a lack of support from the Trump administration caused the plot to quickly unravel when Maduro’s intelligence network got wind of their efforts.
