A fairy tale and a propaganda effort for president Hugo Chavez
6 April 2007
There's no doubt: this is a great film.

but it has at least a flaw: it is not about facts. most of the research has been done without even consulting anybody but president Chavez and his allies, so it's totally one-sided, and filmmakers just cast their prejudices over the Venezuelan opposition and make the world to believe them.

I suggest other commentators to take a good look at Venezuelan newspapers so they don't get fooled by this enormous propaganda effort, done to please president Chavez and people who idyllically believes that there's a revolution taking place in our country.

In Venezuela there's only another military fellow who wants to hold on to power as long as he can, regardless of democracy or civil rights.

I strongly suggest also to see La fiesta del chivo (The Feast of the Goat), The last king of Scotland, Fall of Fujimori and Juan Vicente Gomez y su epoca so you can see what president Chavez is about.

Nice work for the Irish people who made this film: just hope next time they decide to do another they reach for the truth if it's a documentary .
